  The SAP error message FUNC_ADT009 indicates that there is an issue with the function module in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT).

This typically occurs when there is an attempt to rename a function module that is not supported.
  Cause:
  
  Renaming Restrictions: The function module you are trying to rename may have dependencies or is part of a package that does not allow renaming.
  Incorrect Function Module: The function module you are trying to work with may not be the correct one, or there may be a mismatch in the expected and actual function module names.
  Transport Issues: If the function module is part of a transport request, there may be restrictions on modifying it until the transport is released.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the function module. If it is being used in other programs, function modules, or classes, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  Use the Correct Function Module: Ensure that you are working with the correct function module. Double-check the names and ensure that you are not trying to rename a module that is not intended for renaming.
  Avoid Renaming: If renaming is not supported, consider creating a new function module with the desired name and copying the logic from the old one, if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to function module renaming to understand any specific restrictions or guidelines.
  Check Transport Requests: If the function module is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released or that you have the necessary permissions to make changes.
