  The SAP error message FPB_LAUNCHPAD_CUST062 indicates that there is an issue with the launchpad configuration, specifically related to the report that has already been entered or executed. This error typically occurs when a user tries to execute a report that has already been initiated, leading to a conflict in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Execution: The error is primarily caused by attempting to run the same report multiple times simultaneously or in quick succession. The system detects that the report is already running and prevents a second instance from starting.
  Session Management: It may also be related to session management settings in the SAP system, where the system restricts multiple instances of the same report for performance and resource management reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Instances: Before executing the report again, check if the report is already running. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code SM50 (for checking active processes) or SM66 (for checking processes across the system).
  Wait for Completion: If the report is currently running, wait for it to complete before attempting to run it again.
  Terminate Duplicate Sessions: If you find that the report is stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate the running session. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies or loss of unsaved work.
  Review Report Parameters: Ensure that the parameters you are using to run the report are correct and do not lead to unintended duplicate executions.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team to review system settings related to report execution and session management.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM50, SM66, and ST22 (for dumps) to monitor and manage running processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly execute reports and understand the implications of running multiple instances.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FPB_LAUNCHPAD_CUST062 error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
