• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK367 - Objects in SAP namespace cannot be included in local packages ?

  The SAP error message TK367 indicates that you are trying to include objects that are in the SAP namespace (which typically includes objects starting with "SAP" or "SAP_") into a local package. In SAP, the namespace is reserved for SAP's own development objects, and local packages are meant for customer-specific developments.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to create or modify an object (like a function module, class, or program) that is in the SAP namespace and try to assign it to a local package (a package that is not in the SAP namespace).
  The system enforces this restriction to maintain the integrity of SAP's standard objects and to prevent conflicts between SAP's objects and customer-specific developments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Use a Correct Package: 
  
  Ensure that the object you are trying to create or modify is assigned to a package that is not in the SAP namespace. You can create a custom package for your developments if you don't have one already.
  
  
  
  Check Object Assignment:
  
  If you are modifying an existing object, check its current package assignment. If it is in the SAP namespace, you cannot change it to a local package.
  
  
  
  Create a Copy:
  
  If you need to modify an SAP standard object, consider creating a copy of the object in your own package (if the object type allows it) and then make your changes there. This is often done using the "Enhancement" or "Modification" techniques provided by SAP.
  
  
  
  Use Enhancement Framework:
  
  For certain objects, you can use the SAP Enhancement Framework (like BAdIs, user exits, etc.) to add your custom logic without modifying the original SAP object directly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or development team for best practices on handling SAP namespace objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Namespaces: SAP uses namespaces to differentiate between standard SAP objects and customer-specific objects. The standard namespace is reserved for SAP's own development.
  Transport Requests: When working with packages, ensure that your transport requests are correctly set up to include your custom developments.
  Development Guidelines: Follow SAP's development guidelines to ensure that your custom developments do not interfere with standard SAP functionality.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TK367 error and continue with your development work in SAP.
