• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB009 - Inconsistent configuration: &1 fields have been removed ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB009 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the configuration of a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application, specifically related to the configuration of fields in a GUIBB (Graphical User Interface Building Block). The message typically states that a certain number of fields have been removed from the configuration, which leads to this inconsistency.
  Cause:
  
  Field Removal: The most common cause of this error is that fields that were previously configured in the GUIBB have been removed or are no longer available in the underlying data model or context.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes in the underlying data model (e.g., changes in the structure of the database table or the data source), it can lead to fields being removed from the configuration.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the configuration or if the application has been updated, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and not all dependencies were included, it could lead to missing fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the GUIBB in the FPM application. Ensure that all fields that are referenced in the configuration are still available in the data model.
  Restore Fields: If fields were removed unintentionally, you may need to restore them in the configuration. This can be done by editing the FPM configuration and adding the necessary fields back.
  Update Data Model: If the underlying data model has changed, you may need to update the FPM configuration to align with the new data model.
  Consistency Check: Use the FPM consistency check tools to identify and resolve any inconsistencies in the configuration.
  Transport Dependencies: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects and dependencies were included in the transport request.
