• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB108 - Button row &1 is already in form group &2 ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB108 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of the Floorplan Manager (FPM) application, specifically related to the button row being assigned to a form group that it is already associated with. This typically occurs when you try to add a button row to a form group that already contains that button row.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The button row is already defined in the specified form group, leading to a conflict when trying to add it again.
  Incorrect Mapping: The button row might be incorrectly mapped to multiple form groups, causing the system to throw an error when it detects the duplication.
  Development Errors: If you are customizing or developing the application, there might be an error in the configuration or coding that leads to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the FPM application. Ensure that the button row is not already assigned to the specified form group. If it is, you may need to remove the duplicate assignment.
  Modify Form Group: If you need the button row in multiple form groups, consider creating a new button row for the additional form group instead of reusing the existing one.
  Review Custom Code: If you are using custom code or enhancements, check for any logic that might be causing the button row to be added multiple times. Ensure that the logic correctly handles the assignment of button rows to form groups.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for FPM and GUIBB (Generic User Interface Building Blocks) for best practices on configuring button rows and form groups.
