Hi Balu,

yes , U can give any name to FM. there is no restriction for FM.

although if u create FM with ur name , it will give u a warning message that

<b>FM name is reserved for sap</b>but u can ignore that message.

Reward points if helpful.

Hi

You can give ur name as new function module.But this is not a right practice for a developer.So it is better to start any function starts with Y or Z

hi Balu ,

In SAP you can create a custom function module without using Y/Z as the 1st character of the function module . But in SAP any Custom objects created should start with Y or Z .

Hope this makes you understand .

No, It is not required to use Z/Y before your name. But it is a good practce to maintain Z/Y for all custom development.
