Hi,

In principal this vendor naming is completely free and only helps to categorize the projects. However this vendor naming can be understood a little bit like the name conventions used in java programming environment. More about this you can find here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_package#Package_naming_conventions">java package naming conventions</a> .

Other possibility could be to get a guideline from the URL of the company in the web. SAP uses com.sap and you can find sap under www.sap.com .

But these two ways are only very weak recommendations, the vendor naming is completely unrestricted.

Regards,

Jan

Hi Sampath

This vendor is a very important thing in the development. It can be related with the package name. If you are Business Partner with the SAP than you can get this free.

Whenever you are enhancing any SAP components or building your own, this name space i.e. vendor plays the key role. You can deploy your component in the world without the fear of the name space conflict so please reserve the name space with contacting the SAP.

Like you mentioned that your company name is 'abc' than you can put anything whcich represents that this is made by the 'abc' company. For eg you can use 'com.abc', 'abc.com' or anything that you want.

When you are developing components locally than very less importnace of vendo name but at the time of implementing at the client side it plays a key role.

Go to service.sap.com/namespaces here you will find lot of information and the process to get that, also, you can refer to Note 84282 - Development namespaces for customers and partners.
