• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRL615 - Data source &1 used by comp. &2 of structure &3 is in foreign namespace. ?

  The SAP error message SCRL615 indicates that a data source (DS) is being used in a context where it is not allowed due to namespace restrictions. Specifically, this error occurs when a data source from a foreign namespace is being referenced in a structure or component that is expected to use data sources from the same namespace.
  
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Restrictions: In SAP, objects are organized into namespaces. A foreign namespace refers to any namespace that is not the one currently being used for the development object. For example, if you are working in a custom namespace (like /Z or /Y), and you try to use a data source from a standard SAP namespace (like SAP), you may encounter this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The data source may have been incorrectly configured or assigned to a structure that does not allow for foreign namespace data sources.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Namespace: Verify the namespace of the data source and
