  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE358 indicates that a User Interface Building Block (UIBB) in the Floorplan Manager (FPM) cannot refer to itself. This typically occurs when there is a configuration issue in the FPM application where a UIBB is set up to reference itself, leading to a circular reference that the system cannot resolve.
  Cause:
  
  Self-Referencing UIBB: The most common cause of this error is that a UIBB is configured to reference itself either directly or indirectly, which creates a loop.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an error in the configuration of the UIBB or the application component that leads to this self-reference.
  Hierarchy Issues: If UIBBs are nested, one UIBB might inadvertently be set to refer back to its parent or itself.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check UIBB Configuration: Review the configuration of the UIBB in the FPM application. Ensure that it does not reference itself. This can be done in the FPM configuration editor.
  Modify References: If a UIBB is intended to reference another UIBB, ensure that it points to a different UIBB rather than itself.
  Review Hierarchical Structure: If UIBBs are nested, check the hierarchy to ensure that there are no circular references.
  Testing: After making changes, test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the UIBB behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FPM Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Floorplan Manager for detailed guidelines on configuring UIBBs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide patches related to this error.
