• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRMOST634 - Object Name & (Underscore not permitted at 2nd or 3rd position) ?

  The SAP error message CRMOST634 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of an object in the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that an underscore is not permitted in the second or third position of the object name. This is a common validation rule in SAP to ensure that object names adhere to certain standards.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when an object name (such as a business partner, product, or any other entity) contains an underscore character (_) in the second or third position. For example, if the object name is A_BC or AB_CD, it would violate this rule and result in the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to rename the object to comply with the naming conventions. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Object: Determine which object is causing the error. This may involve checking the transaction or process you were attempting to execute when the error occurred.
  
  
  Rename the Object: Modify the object name to remove the underscore from the second or third position. For example:
  
  Change A_BC to AB_C or A1B_C.
  Change AB_CD to ABCD or A_BC.
  
  
  
  Check Naming Conventions: Ensure that the new name adheres to all SAP naming conventions, which may include length restrictions and allowed characters.
  
  
  Test the Change: After renaming the object, re-attempt the operation that triggered the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions for various objects. This can help prevent similar errors in the future.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on naming conventions for the type of object you are working with.
