  No special characters (e.g., @, #, $, etc.)
  A maximum length (usually 30 characters for most objects)
  Starting with a letter
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create objects in the desired namespace. You may need to contact your SAP administrator for assistance.
