Otherwise you will obtain the following:

1. Message box appears with the title "Object Edition: Initial Screen" and message "Object can only be created in SAP package". Press OK.

2. "Create Object Directory Entry" dialog appears

Object: R3TR|WDYN|MYNEWCOMPONENT

Original System: NSP

Person Responsible: BCUSER

3. I pressed "Local Object". Error message box appeared. Message "Test objects cannot be created in foreign namespaces".
