• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE744 - Position overlap: Group &1 and group &2 ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE744 indicates a position overlap issue between two groups in a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. This typically occurs when two or more UI elements (like groups or containers) are configured to occupy the same space on the screen, leading to a conflict in layout.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Configuration: The most common cause is that the layout configuration for the FPM application has been set up in such a way that two groups are trying to occupy the same position or area on the screen.
  Dynamic Visibility: If groups are dynamically shown or hidden based on certain conditions, it may lead to overlaps if not managed properly.
  Incorrect Layout Settings: The settings in the FPM configuration might not be correctly defined, leading to overlaps.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Group Configuration: Review the configuration of the groups in the FPM application. Ensure that each group has a unique position and does not overlap with others.
  Adjust Layout: Modify the layout settings in the FPM configuration to ensure that groups are properly aligned and do not overlap. This may involve changing the size or position of the groups.
  Dynamic Visibility Logic: If you are using dynamic visibility for groups, ensure that the logic does not lead to situations where multiple groups are visible at the same time in the same area.
  Testing: After making changes, test the application to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the layout behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FPM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the FPM configuration settings in the SAP system, as this will help you understand how to manage groups and their layouts.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the layout rendering process and identify where the overlap is occurring.
  
  By addressing the layout configuration and ensuring that each group has a distinct position, you should be able to resolve the APB_FPM_CORE744 error.
