Asking Access Key while creating a data element

I have created a table and am specifying the attributes. While creating the data element for the field, the system is asking for an "Access key". What is this access key and why is the system asking for it?

key dialog

Solution

  • Choose a name from the implicit customer namespace (starting with Y or Z) or a reserved partner namespace. You are trying to create an object in the namespace SAP has reserved for internal product development, and to make producing collisions harder, SAP has introduced this so-called SSCR system with per-object keys.
