Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C-054 - Standard objects must start with SAP.. ?

  The SAP error message C-054 indicates that you are trying to create or modify a standard object (like a program, function module, or class) that does not adhere to the naming conventions set by SAP. Specifically, standard objects in SAP must start with the prefix "SAP." This is a part of SAP's naming conventions to avoid conflicts between standard SAP objects and custom objects created by users.
  Cause:
  
  Naming Convention Violation: The object you are trying to create or modify does not start with "SAP." This is a requirement for standard objects in the SAP system.
  Custom Object Naming: If you are trying to create a custom object, it should not start with "SAP." Instead, it should start with a user-defined namespace or a specific prefix that you have chosen for your custom developments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename the Object: If you are creating a new object, ensure that it starts with "SAP" if it is intended to be a standard object. If it is a custom object, use a different prefix (like "Z" or "Y") that is reserved for custom developments.
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of object you are trying to create. If it is meant to be a custom object, ensure you are not mistakenly trying to create it as a standard object.
  Use the Correct Namespace: For custom developments, use the appropriate namespace (usually starting with "Z" or "Y") to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions for various object types. This will help you avoid similar errors in the future.
  Development Guidelines: Follow SAP's development guidelines and best practices to ensure that your custom developments are compliant with SAP standards.
  Transport Requests: If you are working in a transport request, ensure that the objects you are adding to the transport are correctly named and categorized.
  
  By adhering to these guidelines, you can avoid the C-054 error and ensure that your SAP developments are properly structured and compliant with SAP's standards.
