  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_SB054 Profile Name '&1' is in SAP Name Space typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to create or modify a profile name that is already reserved by SAP. The error indicates that the profile name you are trying to use is part of the SAP namespace, which is reserved for standard SAP profiles.
  Cause:
  
  Reserved Namespace: The profile name you are trying to create or modify is already used by SAP or is reserved for SAP standard profiles. SAP has specific naming conventions and reserved namespaces to avoid conflicts.
  Incorrect Naming: The profile name does not adhere to the naming conventions that allow for custom profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Choose a Different Name: The simplest solution is to select a different profile name that does not conflict with SAP's reserved names. Custom profile names typically start with a Z or Y (e.g., Z_MY_PROFILE).
  Check Existing Profiles: Before creating a new profile, check the existing profiles in the system to ensure that the name you want to use is not already taken. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP APO.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions for profiles to ensure compliance.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe that the profile name should not be reserved or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for clarification.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Namespace: SAP reserves certain namespaces for its own objects (like profiles, function modules, etc.). Custom objects should typically use the Z or Y prefix to avoid conflicts.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/SDP1 for creating or managing profiles.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help Portal or specific SAP notes related to profile management in APO for more detailed guidance.
