• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB131 - Action &1 still used in button choice &2 ?

  The SAP error message "APB_FPM_GUIBB131 Action &1 still used in button choice &2" typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or SAP Web Dynpro applications that utilize the Floorplan Manager (FPM). This error indicates that there is a configuration issue where an action (identified by &1) is still being referenced in a button choice (identified by &2) even though it has been marked for deletion or is no longer valid.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The action you are trying to delete or modify is still referenced in the button choice configuration. This can happen if the configuration was not updated properly after changes were made.
  Inconsistent State: The application might be in an inconsistent state where the UI component is still trying to access an action that has been removed or is no longer valid.
  Development Errors: If custom development has been done, there might be hardcoded references to the action in the code that need to be updated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Button Choice Configuration: 
  
  Go to the FPM configuration for the application and check the button choice settings. Ensure that the action you are trying to delete is not still referenced there.
  If it is referenced, either remove it from the button choice or update the button choice to point to a valid action.
  
  
  
  Update the Action References:
  
  If you have made changes to the actions, ensure that all references to those actions in the button choices are updated accordingly.
  This may involve checking the configuration in the FPM application or any custom code that interacts with the FPM.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to stale configurations. You can do this by using transaction code /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP for OData services or by clearing the browser cache if you are using a web-based application.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there is custom code involved, review it to ensure that it does not reference the deleted action. Update the code as necessary.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests are properly moved to the quality or production environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to FPM and the specific application you are working with for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  FPM Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation on Floorplan Manager for best practices in configuring actions and button choices.
  Community Forums: Consider checking SAP Community forums or other user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that your FPM application is configured correctly.
