PLS-00201 - identifier must be declared

I executed a PL/SQL script that created the following table

TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(30) := 'B2BOWNER.SSC_Page_Map';

I made an insert function for this table using arguments

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_SSC_Page_Map_Insert(
         p_page_id   IN B2BOWNER.SSC_Page_Map.Page_ID_NBR%TYPE, 
         p_page_type IN B2BOWNER.SSC_Page_Map.Page_Type%TYPE, 
         p_page_dcpn IN B2BOWNER.SSC_Page_Map.Page_Dcpn%TYPE)

I was notified I had to declare B2BOWNER.SSC_Page_Map prior to it appearing as an argument to my function. Why am I getting this error?

EDIT: Actual error

The tables has been verified within the correct schema and with the correct attribute names and types

EDIT: I executed the following command to check if I have access

DECLARE
    count_this INTEGER;

BEGIN

select count(*) into count_this 
from all_tables 
where owner = 'B2BOWNER' 
and table_name = 'SSC_PAGE_MAP';

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(count_this);

END;

The output I received is

1
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

I have access to the table.

EDIT:

So I finally conducted an insert into the table via the schema using PL/SQL and it worked fine. It appears I simply do not have authority to create functions but that is an assumption.

EDIT:

Actual table DDL statement

 v_create := 'CREATE TABLE ' ||  TABLE_NAME || ' (
                PAGE_ID_NBR   NUMERIC(10)   NOT NULL Check(Page_ID_NBR > 0),
                PAGE_TYPE     VARCHAR2(50)  NOT NULL, 
                PAGE_DCPN     VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
                PRIMARY KEY(Page_ID_NBR, Page_Type))';

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_create; 

COMMIT WORK;

COMMIT COMMENT 'Create Table';

When creating the TABLE under B2BOWNER, be sure to prefix the PL/SQL function with the Schema name; i.e. B2BOWNER.F_SSC_Page_Map_Insert.

I did not realize this until the DBAs pointed it out. I could have created the table under my root USER/SCHEMA and the PL/SQL function would have worked fine.
