• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE318 - Configuration &1 of component &2 can only be configured once ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE318 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a component in the Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. Specifically, it states that a certain configuration (denoted as &1) of a component (denoted as &2) can only be configured once. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to configure the same component multiple times within the same application or configuration context.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the same component is being configured more than once in the same FPM application or configuration.
  Incorrect Application Logic: There may be a logical error in the application design where the same component is unintentionally added multiple times.
  Copy-Paste Errors: Sometimes, during the development process, configurations may be copied and pasted, leading to unintentional duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the FPM configuration for the application in question. Look for the component specified in the error message and ensure that it is only configured once.
  Remove Duplicates: If you find that the same component is configured multiple times, remove the duplicate entries.
  Check for Inheritance: If you are using inheritance in your configurations, ensure that the component is not being inherited from a parent configuration that is already included.
  Validate Application Logic: Ensure that the application logic does not require the same component to be instantiated multiple times. If it does, consider redesigning the application to avoid this issue.
  Test Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the application to ensure that the error is resolved.
