• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_DML_CUST054 - Object & is in customer namespace; it will be created locally only ?

  The SAP error message COM_DML_CUST054 indicates that you are trying to create or modify an object (such as a table, view, or other development object) that is in the customer namespace. The message states that the object will only be created locally and not transported to other systems (like production) because it is in the customer namespace.
  Cause:
  
  Customer Namespace: In SAP, objects can be created in different namespaces. The customer namespace is typically reserved for custom developments. If you are trying to create an object in a customer namespace, it means that it is intended for local use only.
  Transport Layer: The system is configured to prevent certain objects from being transported to ensure that custom developments do not interfere with standard SAP objects or other custom developments in different systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Namespace: Verify if you are indeed working in the customer namespace. If you need the object to be transportable, consider creating it in the appropriate development namespace (e.g., the development namespace assigned to your project).
  Use Transport Requests: If you need to transport the object, ensure that it is created in a transportable namespace and that you are using the correct transport request.
  Local Development: If the object is meant to be used only locally, you can proceed with the creation, but be aware that it will not be available in other systems unless manually recreated.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team to understand the implications of working in the customer namespace and how to manage transport requests effectively.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespaces in SAP: SAP uses namespaces to differentiate between standard SAP objects and custom developments. The standard namespace is usually reserved for SAP's own objects, while customer namespaces (often starting with "Z" or "Y") are for custom developments.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with TMS in SAP, which is used to manage the transport of objects between different SAP systems (development, quality assurance, production).
  Development Guidelines: Follow best practices for SAP development, including naming conventions and proper use of namespaces to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth transport processes.
