• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_MBT193 - New package &1 does not lie in customer namespace ?

  The SAP error message CNV_MBT193 indicates that a new package you are trying to create or use does not lie within the customer namespace. In SAP, customer namespaces are designated for custom developments and modifications, typically prefixed with a specific character or set of characters (like Z or Y). This is to ensure that custom developments do not conflict with standard SAP objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to create or use a package that is not in the customer namespace.
  The package name you are using is either a standard SAP package or does not conform to the naming conventions for customer namespaces.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Package Name: Ensure that the package name you are trying to create or use starts with the appropriate prefix for customer namespaces (usually Z or Y). For example, if you are trying to create a package named MY_PACKAGE, it should be prefixed correctly.
  
  
  Create a New Package: If the package name is not in the customer namespace, create a new package with a valid name. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Right-clicking on the Packages node and selecting "Create".
  Entering a name that starts with Z or Y.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Package: If you are trying to modify an existing package, ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and that the package is indeed in the customer namespace.
  
  
  Check Transport Layer: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the transport layer is correctly set up to allow for the creation of objects in the customer namespace.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespace Conventions: SAP uses namespaces to differentiate between standard and custom objects. Standard objects are typically prefixed with a letter (like A, B, C, etc.), while custom objects should use Z or Y.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify packages in the SAP system.
  Transport Management: If you are working with transports, ensure that the transport routes are correctly configured to handle packages in the customer namespace.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CNV_MBT193 error and successfully create or use the desired package in your SAP environment.
