• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FDM406 - Successor &1&2: Same ID as the origin ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FDM406 Successor &1&2: Same ID as the origin typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Launchpad or when working with the Fiori Design Studio. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a tile or a target mapping where the successor (the new tile or target) is being defined with the same ID as the origin (the existing tile or target). 
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate IDs: The error arises when you attempt to create a new tile or target mapping that has the same ID as an existing one. In SAP, each tile or target mapping must have a unique identifier.
  Configuration Error: This can happen due to a misconfiguration in the Fiori Launchpad designer or when importing/exporting configurations.
  Transport Issues: If configurations are transported between systems, there may be conflicts or duplicates created during the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDs: Review the IDs of the tiles or target mappings in the Fiori Launchpad configuration. Ensure that each tile or target mapping has a unique ID.
  Rename the Successor: If you are trying to create a new tile or target mapping, change the ID of the successor to something unique that does not conflict with existing entries.
  Review Transport Requests: If this issue arose after a transport, check the transport request for any duplicate entries and resolve them.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache of the Fiori Launchpad can help resolve issues related to stale configurations. You can do this by using the transaction code /UI2/FLP and selecting the option to clear the cache.
  Check for Customizations: If there are custom tiles or target mappings, ensure that they are not conflicting with standard ones.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiori Launchpad Designer: This is the tool used to manage tiles and target mappings. Familiarize yourself with its functionalities to avoid such issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
