• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_SSC089 - Name of customer-specific function group must be in customer name space ?

  The SAP error message CRM_SSC089 indicates that the name of a customer-specific function group does not conform to the naming conventions required for customer namespaces. In SAP, customer-specific objects (like function groups, function modules, etc.) must be created in a designated customer namespace to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Naming Convention: The function group you are trying to create or use does not start with the correct prefix that indicates it is in the customer namespace. Typically, customer namespaces start with a specific character or set of characters (like "Z" or "Y").
  Namespace Conflict: The function group name may conflict with existing SAP standard objects or other customer objects if it does not follow the naming conventions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename the Function Group: Ensure that the function group name starts with the appropriate prefix for customer objects. For example, if your namespace is "Z", the function group name should start with "Z" (e.g., Z_MY_FUNCTION_GROUP).
  Check Namespace Settings: Verify the settings in your SAP system to ensure that the customer namespace is correctly defined. You can check this in transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Create a New Function Group: If renaming is not feasible, consider creating a new function group with the correct naming convention and migrating any necessary code or logic from the old function group to the new one.
