• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB185 - Please check:Columns have different UI Element units width ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB185 indicates that there is a mismatch in the width settings of UI elements within a column layout in a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. This typically occurs when the columns in a UI component (like a table or form) have different widths defined, which can lead to layout inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Width Definitions: The most common cause is that the UI elements in different columns have been assigned different width units (e.g., percentages, pixels) or the widths are not compatible with each other.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the FPM application, where the layout settings for the columns are not properly aligned.
  Custom Development: If there has been any custom development or modifications made to the FPM application, it could lead to discrepancies in the column widths.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Column Widths: Review the configuration of the UI elements in the affected FPM application. Ensure that all columns have consistent width definitions. If you are using percentage widths, make sure they add up correctly and are compatible.
  Adjust UI Element Properties: Go to the FPM configuration and adjust the properties of the UI elements to ensure they have the same width units. This can often be done in the FPM configuration editor.
  Use Default Settings: If you have customized the widths, consider reverting to default settings to see if that resolves the issue.
  Test in Different Browsers: Sometimes, rendering issues can be browser-specific. Test the application in different browsers to see if the issue persists.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as this can sometimes resolve known issues.
