• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PVS0C015 - Entry in SAP naming space 'S' is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message PVS0C015 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention used in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that an entry in the SAP naming space 'S' is not allowed. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an object (like a program, function module, or class) that uses a name that is not permitted in the specified namespace.
  Cause:
  
  Naming Convention Violation: The naming space 'S' is reserved for SAP standard objects. If you are trying to create a custom object with a name that starts with 'S', it will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Namespace Usage: You might be using a namespace that is not appropriate for your development or customization work. SAP has specific namespaces for standard objects, customer objects, and partner objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Object Name: If you are creating a custom object, ensure that the name does not start with 'S'. Instead, use a name that starts with a customer namespace (usually 'Z' or 'Y') for custom developments.
  Check Namespace Configuration: Verify that you are using the correct namespace for your development. You can check the namespaces configured in your SAP system by using transaction code SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) and navigating to the "Namespace" section.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions and namespaces to ensure compliance.
