• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE749 - Position overlap: Field &1 and field &2 ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE749 indicates a position overlap issue between two fields in a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. This typically occurs when two UI elements (fields) are positioned in such a way that they overlap each other, which can lead to display issues in the user interface.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Overlapping UI Elements: Two or more fields are defined in the same area of the screen layout, causing them to overlap visually.
  Incorrect Layout Configuration: The layout configuration in the FPM application might not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in positioning.
  Dynamic Changes: If the layout is dynamically changed at runtime (e.g., through user actions or programmatic changes), it may lead to overlaps that were not present during the initial layout definition.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the APB_FPM_CORE749 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Layout Configuration:
  
  Open the FPM configuration for the application in the SAP GUI or Web IDE.
  Review the layout settings for the affected fields (Field &1 and Field &2).
  Ensure that the fields are not defined in the same position or overlapping areas.
  
  
  
  Adjust Field Positions:
  
  Modify the positions of the fields in the layout to ensure they do not overlap. This may involve changing the coordinates or the layout container settings.
  If using a grid layout, ensure that the fields are placed in different grid cells.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the fields display correctly without overlap.
  
  
  
  Review Dynamic Changes:
  
  If the application allows for dynamic changes to the layout, review the logic that modifies the layout at runtime. Ensure that it does not lead to overlaps.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or FPM guidelines for best practices on layout design to avoid such issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide patches related to FPM layout problems.
  FPM Documentation: Review the official SAP FPM documentation for guidelines on creating and managing layouts effectively.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the APB_FPM_CORE749 error in your SAP application.
