  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SS115 - Prefix is in SAP name range. Use a different prefix ?

    The SAP error message "SS115 Prefix is in SAP name range. Use a different prefix" typically occurs when you are trying to create a new object (like a function module, class, or table) in the SAP system and the prefix you are using is reserved for SAP standard objects. SAP has specific naming conventions and reserved prefixes to avoid conflicts with standard objects.

    Cause:

    1. Reserved Prefix: The prefix you are trying to use is part of the SAP reserved name range. SAP reserves certain prefixes (like "SAP", "S", "Z", "Y") for its own objects.
    2. Naming Conventions: SAP has specific naming conventions that must be followed when creating custom objects. Using a reserved prefix violates these conventions.

    Solution:

    1. Change the Prefix: Use a different prefix that is not reserved by SAP. Commonly used prefixes for custom development are "Z" or "Y", but ensure that the prefix you choose is not already in use or reserved.
    2. Check Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions to avoid similar issues in the future. You can refer to the SAP documentation for guidelines on naming custom objects.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Naming Conventions: SAP has specific guidelines for naming various objects. For example, custom programs typically start with "Z" or "Y", while standard SAP objects do not.
    • Development Guidelines: It's a good practice to follow SAP's development guidelines to ensure compatibility and maintainability of your custom developments.
    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check existing objects and their prefixes.

    By following these guidelines and using a different prefix, you should be able to resolve the SS115 error and successfully create your desired object in SAP.
