• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TT142 - The name &1 contains characters that are not code page neutral ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TT142 indicates that the name you are trying to use contains characters that are not code page neutral. This typically occurs in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are working with names for objects such as planning books, data views, or other entities that require a specific character set.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Code Page Neutral Characters: The name you are trying to use includes special characters or symbols that are not supported by the code page being used in your SAP system. This can happen if you are using characters from a different language or special characters that are not universally recognized.
  Incorrect Encoding: The system may be expecting a certain encoding (like UTF-8) but is receiving characters that do not conform to that encoding.
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename the Object: Change the name of the object to use only code page neutral characters. Stick to standard alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and avoid special characters, accents, or symbols.
  Check System Settings: Ensure that your system's code page settings are correctly configured. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to verify the code page settings.
  Use Standard Naming Conventions: Follow SAP's naming conventions for objects to avoid using unsupported characters.
  Test with Different Names: If you are unsure which characters are causing the issue, try using a simple name and gradually add characters to identify the problematic ones.
