• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRL623 - Tables must not start with SAP. (Caused by Table ID &1) ?

  The SAP error message SCRL623 indicates that a table you are trying to create or modify has a name that starts with "SAP." In SAP systems, certain naming conventions are enforced to avoid conflicts with standard SAP tables and to maintain system integrity. Tables that start with "SAP" are reserved for SAP's own use, and custom tables should not use this prefix.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to create or modify a table with a name that begins with "SAP." The specific message indicates the Table ID that is causing the issue.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should rename the table to ensure that it does not start with "SAP." Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Choose a New Name: Select a new name for your table that adheres to SAP's naming conventions. Custom tables typically start with a prefix that identifies the developer or the project, such as "Z" or "Y." For example, instead of naming your table "SAP_MY_TABLE," you could name it "Z_MY_TABLE" or "Y_MY_TABLE."
  
  
  Modify the Table Definition: If you are using the Data Dictionary (SE11) to create or modify the table, go back to the table definition and change the name accordingly.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: If the table is already in use or has dependencies (like foreign keys, views, etc.), ensure that you update those references to the new table name as well.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If you are working in a development environment and plan to transport the changes to other systems (like QA or Production), make sure to include the new table name in your transport requests.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions for custom objects. Custom objects typically use the prefixes "Z" or "Y" to differentiate them from standard SAP objects.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidelines on naming conventions and best practices for creating custom database objects.
  Development Guidelines: Follow your organization's development guidelines to ensure consistency and avoid conflicts with existing objects.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SCRL623 error and successfully create or modify your table in SAP.
