• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE212 - ID &1 already exists within the affected scope ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE212 indicates that there is a duplicate entry for an ID within a specific scope in the FPM (Floorplan Manager) application. This typically occurs when the system encounters multiple instances of the same identifier, which is not allowed in the context of the application.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The most common cause is that there are multiple configurations or instances of a component that share the same ID within the same scope.
  Incorrect Customization: If custom developments or enhancements have been made, they may inadvertently introduce duplicate IDs.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data being processed, leading to the same ID being referenced multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the FPM configuration to ensure that all IDs are unique within the affected scope. This includes checking the configuration of the application, views, and components.
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE80 or SE11 to search for the ID in question and identify where the duplicates are defined.
  Modify IDs: If duplicates are found, modify the IDs to ensure they are unique. This may involve renaming components or adjusting the configuration.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to stale data. You can do this by using transaction SICF to refresh the service or by using transaction SE38 to run the report RSFPM_CLEANUP.
  Check Custom Code: If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure that it does not create duplicate entries inadvertently.
