• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV353 - The function group is in the customer name range ?

  The SAP error message SV353 indicates that a function group is located within the customer name range, which typically means that the function group is not intended for use in the standard SAP namespace. This can occur when a developer attempts to create or modify a function group that falls within the range reserved for customer-specific developments.
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Conflict: The function group is being created or modified in a namespace that is reserved for customer developments (usually starting with "Z" or "Y").

  Development Environment: The function group may have been created in a development environment that does not allow for the use of certain namespaces.
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename the Function Group: Change the name of the function group to ensure it does not fall within the customer name range. Use a name that adheres to SAP's naming conventions for standard objects.
  Check Namespace Settings: Ensure that the development environment is set up correctly and that you are using the appropriate namespace for your developments.
  Use Transaction SE80: Use the Object Navigator (transaction SE80) to check the properties of the function group and confirm its namespace.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions and namespaces to ensure compliance.
  Transport Requests: If the function group is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured to avoid namespace issues.
