• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB001 - Imported group does not exist ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB001: Imported group does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or SAP Web Dynpro applications that utilize the Floorplan Manager (FPM). This error indicates that the application is trying to reference a group (or configuration) that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Configuration: The group that the application is trying to access has not been created or is not properly configured in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the application was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the group may not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the group, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Incorrect Application Configuration: The application might be incorrectly configured to reference a non-existent group.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the FPM configuration in the SAP system and verify that the group exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant FPM configuration transaction (e.g., FPM_CONF).
  Ensure that the group is correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the application was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the group was included in the transport request.
  If it was not included, you may need to create a new transport request that includes the missing group.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the group. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  If necessary, assign the appropriate roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Application Configuration:
  
  Check the application configuration settings to ensure that it is pointing to the correct group.
  If you have access to the application’s source code or configuration files, review them for any hardcoded references to the group.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the execution of the application and identify where the error is being triggered.
