• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSCHECK114 - The namespaces in function groups &1 and &2 overlap ?

  The SAP error message CACSCHECK114 indicates that there is a conflict in the namespaces of two function groups in your SAP system. This typically occurs when two function groups are trying to use the same namespace, which can lead to issues in function calls and overall system integrity.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Two function groups are defined with overlapping namespaces.
  There is an attempt to use or reference functions from one function group in another, and they share the same namespace.
  This can happen during the development of custom function modules or when importing transport requests that contain function groups.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Function Groups: Check the function groups mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1 and &2). You can do this by looking at the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE37 (Function Builder).
  
  
  Review Namespace Usage: Examine the namespaces of both function groups. Ensure that they are distinct and do not overlap. If they do, you will need to modify one of the function groups to use a different namespace.
  
  
  Rename Function Groups: If you have control over the development environment, consider renaming one of the function groups to avoid the overlap. This can be done in the Object Navigator (SE80) or by using the appropriate development tools.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport request, check the transport logs to see if there were any conflicts during the import. You may need to adjust the transport request or resolve conflicts before re-importing.
