  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific module documentation for guidelines on naming conventions and character limits.
  User Exits or Enhancements: If you frequently encounter this issue and have a valid business case for longer names, consider discussing with your SAP development team about potential user exits or enhancements that could allow for longer names, though this may not be advisable due to standardization practices.
  Error Handling: Familiarize yourself with how to handle errors in SAP, including logging and reporting issues to your SAP support team if necessary.
