• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN015 - Objects in customer namespace must begin with Y or Z ?

  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN015 indicates that you are trying to create or modify an object in the customer namespace that does not adhere to the naming conventions required by SAP. Specifically, objects in the customer namespace must begin with the letters Y or Z.
  Cause:
  
  Naming Convention Violation: The object you are trying to create or modify does not start with Y or Z, which is a requirement for customer-specific objects in SAP.
  Incorrect Object Type: You may be attempting to create a standard SAP object or a custom object that is not properly prefixed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Rename the Object: If you are creating a new object, ensure that its name starts with either Y or Z. For example, if you are trying to create a custom table, class, or function module, prefix it with Y or Z (e.g., Y_CUSTOM_TABLE or Z_MY_FUNCTION).
  
  
  Check Existing Objects: If you are modifying an existing object, verify that it is indeed in the customer namespace. If it is not, you may need to create a new object in the correct namespace.
  
  
  Review Development Guidelines: Ensure that your development team is aware of the naming conventions and guidelines for creating custom objects in SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the types of objects that can be created, refer to SAP documentation or your organization's development guidelines.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Customer Namespace: In SAP, the customer namespace is reserved for custom developments. Objects in this namespace are typically used to extend or modify standard SAP functionality without affecting the core system.
  Standard SAP Objects: Standard SAP objects (those not prefixed with Y or Z) are part of the SAP standard and should not be modified directly. Instead, enhancements or customizations should be done in the customer namespace.
  Transport Requests: When creating or modifying objects, ensure that they are included in the appropriate transport requests for proper deployment across different environments (development, quality assurance, production).
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create or modify your SAP objects.
