  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DYNPRO008 - Function group/program name is not in customer namespace ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DYNPRO008 Function group/program name is not in customer namespace typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an issue related to the function group or program being accessed. This error indicates that the function group or program you are trying to use is not part of the customer namespace, which is usually reserved for custom developments.

    Cause:

    1. Namespace Issue: The function group or program you are trying to access is not defined in the customer namespace (Z or Y). SAP standard programs and function groups are usually in the SAP namespace (which does not start with Z or Y).
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the function group or program.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the system that is causing the program to be incorrectly referenced.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Program/Function Group: Verify if the function group or program you are trying to access is indeed a standard SAP object. If it is, ensure that you are using the correct transaction or program name.
    2. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the function group or program. You may need to check the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or SU53.
    3. Use Correct Namespace: If you are developing custom programs or function groups, ensure that they are created in the customer namespace (Z or Y). If you are trying to modify or enhance standard SAP functionality, consider using enhancement points or BAdIs instead of directly modifying standard programs.
    4. Contact SAP Support: If you believe this is an issue with the SAP system itself, or if you are unsure about the program's status, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE37 (Function Module) to check the details of the function group or program.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on similar issues.
    • Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for any specific configurations or requirements related to the function group or program in question.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution.
