  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB107 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application, specifically related to button elements in a form group. The message states that a button element (denoted as &1) is already assigned to a specific form group (denoted as &2), which can lead to issues in the user interface.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Button Assignment: The same button element is being assigned to multiple form groups within the same FPM configuration.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the FPM application where the same button is inadvertently referenced multiple times.
  Development Issues: If custom development has been done, it may lead to incorrect references or duplications in the UI configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Open the FPM configuration in the SAP GUI or the relevant development environment.
  Navigate to the form groups and check the button assignments.
  Ensure that each button is assigned to only one form group.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicates:
  
  If you find that the same button is assigned to multiple form groups, remove the duplicate assignment.
  Ensure that each button has a unique assignment to a form group.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is custom code involved, review it to ensure that it does not create duplicate button assignments.
  Check for any dynamic UI changes that might be causing the button to be added to multiple groups.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the application to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the UI behaves as expected.
