• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSR008 - Table name is not in customer namespace ?

  The SAP error message MSR008: Table name is not in customer namespace typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a database table in a namespace that is not designated for customer-specific developments. In SAP, namespaces are used to differentiate between standard SAP objects and customer-specific objects.
  
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Restrictions: SAP has reserved certain namespaces for its own development. Customer-specific developments should be done in the customer namespace (usually starting with "Z" or "Y").
  Table Naming Convention: If you attempt to create a table with a name that does not start with "Z" or "Y", SAP will throw this error.
  Transport Issues: If you are trying to transport an object that is not in the customer namespace, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Customer Namespace: Ensure that any new tables you create start with "Z" or "Y". For example, instead of naming your table MY_TABLE, you should name it ZMY_TABLE.
