  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE746 indicates that there is a position overlap between a label and a field in a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. This typically occurs when the layout of the UI elements is not properly configured, leading to overlapping components in the user interface.
  Cause:
  
  Layout Configuration Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the layout of the FPM application has been incorrectly defined, resulting in two UI elements (a label and a field) occupying the same space on the screen.
  Dynamic Changes: If the UI is dynamically changing (e.g., based on user input or data), it may lead to situations where elements overlap.
  CSS or Styling Conflicts: Custom CSS or styling applied to the FPM application may inadvertently cause elements to overlap.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Layout Configuration:
  
  Review the FPM configuration in the FPM application configuration editor.
  Ensure that the labels and fields are properly aligned and do not overlap. Adjust the layout settings as necessary.

  If you are using a custom layout, ensure that the dimensions and positions of the labels and fields are set correctly.
  Use the FPM layout editor to visually inspect and adjust the positions of the UI elements.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Data:
  
  Sometimes, the overlap may occur only with specific data. Test the application with different datasets to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements applied to the FPM application, review it to ensure that it does not interfere with the layout.
  
  
  
  Check for CSS Issues:
  
  If you have applied custom CSS, review it to ensure that it does not cause any layout issues. Remove or adjust any conflicting styles.
  
  
  
  Use Debugging Tools:
