• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCT006 - Label of field &1 overlaps with field &2 in row &3 and column &4 ?

  The SAP error message FCT006 indicates that there is an overlap in the labels of fields in a certain context, typically within a form or report layout. This error usually arises when the layout of a screen or report is not properly configured, leading to overlapping fields that can cause display issues or confusion for users.
  Cause:
  
  Field Overlap: The primary cause of this error is that the labels of two fields are positioned in such a way that they overlap each other. This can happen due to incorrect positioning or sizing of fields in the layout.
  Layout Configuration: If the layout of the form or report has been modified (e.g., resizing, moving fields), it may lead to overlaps that were not present before.
  Screen Size or Resolution: Sometimes, the screen resolution or size settings can affect how fields are displayed, leading to overlaps that are not apparent in the design view.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Field Positions: Open the layout editor for the form or report where the error occurs. Check the positions of the fields and adjust them to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve moving one of the fields to a different location or resizing them.
  Check Field Sizes: Ensure that the sizes of the fields are appropriate and do not extend into the space of adjacent fields. You may need to reduce the width of one or both fields.
  Test in Different Resolutions: If the issue persists, test the layout in different screen resolutions or settings to see if the overlap occurs only under certain conditions.
  Review Layout Templates: If you are using a template for the layout, review the template settings to ensure that they are configured correctly and do not lead to overlaps.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to adjust the layout, refer to SAP documentation or seek assistance from a colleague with experience in SAP layout design.
