• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE359 - Configuration name & exists only on customizing level ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE359 indicates that a configuration name exists only at the customizing level and not at the application level. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP Web Dynpro applications that utilize the Floorplan Manager (FPM) for UI configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Scope: The configuration you are trying to access or use is defined only in the customizing settings (transaction SPRO) and not in the application-specific settings. This means that the configuration is not available for the specific application context you are working with.
  Missing Application Configuration: The application may not have been properly set up to recognize the customizing configuration, or the configuration may not have been activated for the specific application.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been properly imported or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Customizing Settings: Go to transaction SPRO and navigate to the relevant customizing settings for the application. Ensure that the configuration you are trying to use is correctly defined and activated.
  Create or Adjust Configuration: If the configuration does not exist at the application level, you may need to create a new configuration or adjust the existing one to ensure it is available for the application you are working with.
  Activate Configuration: If the configuration exists but is not activated, make sure to activate it. This can often be done in the customizing transaction where the configuration is defined.
  Review Transport Requests: If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included and that the transport was successful. You may need to re-transport or manually adjust the configuration in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific application and FPM to understand the configuration requirements and ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
