• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB174 - Chart cannot be rendered: Multiple units for measure &1 ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB174 indicates that there is an issue with rendering a chart in the FPM (Floorplan Manager) application due to the presence of multiple units of measure for a specific measure. This typically occurs when the data being used for the chart contains different units of measure for the same metric, which can lead to confusion in how the data should be displayed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Units of Measure: The primary cause of this error is that the data source for the chart contains multiple units of measure for the same measure. For example, if you are trying to display sales data, some records might be in dollars while others are in euros.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data being pulled from the backend system, leading to mixed units.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the FPM application or the specific chart component may not be set up to handle multiple units of measure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Data Cleansing: Ensure that the data being fed into the chart is consistent. Convert all measures to a single unit of measure before rendering the chart. This may involve preprocessing the data in the backend or using a transformation layer.
  Check Data Source: Review the data source for the chart to ensure that it is not pulling in records with different units of measure. If necessary, filter the data to include only records with a consistent unit.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration of the FPM application and the specific chart component. Ensure that it is set up to handle the expected units of measure. If the chart is expected to handle multiple units, consider configuring it to aggregate or convert the measures appropriately.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the application to catch this scenario and provide a user-friendly message or alternative view when the data cannot be rendered due to unit inconsistencies.
