• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPB_LAUNCHPAD_CUST063 - RW report &1 (&2) already entered (other 'entries after start') ?

  The SAP error message FPB_LAUNCHPAD_CUST063 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) module, particularly when dealing with reports in the launchpad. The error indicates that a report has already been entered or is already in use, which can happen for various reasons.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Report Entry: The error suggests that the report you are trying to run has already been initiated or is still in process. This can happen if:
  
  The user has accidentally tried to run the same report multiple times.
  The report is still processing from a previous execution.
  There are multiple users trying to run the same report simultaneously.
  
  
  
  Session Management: Sometimes, if a session is not properly closed or if there are lingering sessions, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There might be issues with the configuration of the launchpad or the report settings that are causing conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Reports: Verify if the report is already running. You can do this by checking the job overview or the relevant transaction (like SM37) to see if there are any active jobs for that report.
  
  
  Terminate Duplicate Sessions: If you find that the report is still running or has been left in a processing state, you may need to terminate the session or job. This can be done through transaction SM37 or by contacting your system administrator.
  
  
  Refresh the Launchpad: Sometimes, simply refreshing the launchpad or logging out and back in can resolve session-related issues.
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Execution: Ensure that you are not trying to execute the same report multiple times. If you need to run the report again, wait for the previous execution to complete.
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user permissions are correctly set up to run the report. Sometimes, permission issues can lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or support for specific guidance related to the report in question.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring), ST22 (Dump Analysis), and SLG1 (Application Log) to troubleshoot further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide patches/updates.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed.
