  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB113, which states "Action &1 exists already," typically occurs in the context of the Floorplan Manager (FPM) when you are trying to create or define an action that already exists in the application configuration. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when customizing or extending FPM applications.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Action Definition: The action you are trying to create or define has the same identifier as an existing action in the application configuration.
  Configuration Overlap: If you are working with multiple configurations or versions of the same application, there may be a conflict with action identifiers.
  Transport Issues: If you have transported configurations from one system to another, there may be conflicts with existing actions.

  Check Existing Actions: Review the existing actions in the application configuration to see if the action you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the FPM configuration and checking the action list.
  Rename the Action: If the action already exists and you need to create a new one, consider renaming the new action to avoid the conflict.
  Modify Existing Action: If the existing action meets your requirements, you may want to modify it instead of creating a new one.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to configuration changes not being recognized. You can do this by using transaction code /IWFND/CACHE or /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that there are no conflicts or duplicates in the transported objects.
