width meaning that all the available space on the screen is used.

the setting <LS>Fit to Table Width</> using the <LS>Personalization

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE380 - Column &1 is fixed and will be ignored (Fit to Table Width is active) ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE380 indicates that a column in a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application is set as a fixed column, and the "Fit to Table Width" feature is active. This means that the fixed column will not be resized or adjusted when the table width is being fit to the available space, and as a result, it will be ignored in the layout adjustments.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Column Setting: The column in question is defined as a fixed column in the FPM configuration. Fixed columns are intended to remain at a constant width regardless of the overall table width.
  Fit to Table Width Active: The "Fit to Table Width" option is enabled, which attempts to adjust the widths of the other columns to fit the overall width of the table. However, fixed columns cannot be resized, leading to this warning.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following options:
  
  
  Disable Fit to Table Width:
  
  If the fixed column is essential and you want to keep it as is, you can disable the "Fit to Table Width" option in the FPM configuration. This will allow the fixed column to maintain its width without being ignored.
  
  
  
  Change Column Settings:
  
  If the fixed column does not need to be fixed, you can change its properties in the FPM configuration to make it a regular column. This will allow it to be resized along with the other columns when "Fit to Table Width" is active.
  
  
  
  Adjust Layout:
  
  Review the overall layout of your FPM application. If you have multiple fixed columns, consider whether you can reduce the number of fixed columns or adjust their widths to better fit the overall design.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  FPM Configuration: You can access the FPM configuration through the SAP GUI or the relevant transaction code (e.g., FPM or FPM_CONFIG).
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for Floorplan Manager for detailed guidance on configuring tables and columns.
  Testing: After making changes, always test the application to ensure that the layout behaves as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the APB_FPM_CORE380 error and ensure that your FPM application displays correctly.
