In SAP, the customer namespace is typically reserved for custom developments and is identified by specific prefixes (like Z or Y).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Naming Conventions:
  
  Follow the naming conventions for your organization to avoid conflicts. Typically, customer namespaces are prefixed with 'Z' or 'Y', so ensure that your new name adheres to these conventions.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that there are no pending changes that could affect the renaming process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the existing objects, consult your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines.
