What is FPM?

Floor Plan Manager is a UI Framework sits on top of Web Dynpro ABAP, for easy, efficient and highly-configurable application development.

where is it used?

Standard SAP HR applications are built on this UI Framework.We can also make use of this framework to build custom web dynpro applications.

what are the tools required for using it?

Netweaver 7.00 Ehp1

what are the advantages of using it?

as i already mentioned it is for easy, efficient and highly-configurable application development.

As the framework is in place you can concentrate on building your UIBB( UI building blocks web dynpro components ) and configure your application.

Just a note : OVP is available only from 7.02.

You can look into FPM_GAF_COMPONENT , FPM_OIF_COMPONENT also. It may Help.

You may also look into APB_FPM_CORE Package for some more WD Programs

Hi,

as addition to above stated.

1. Sap internally uses FPM for all abap based applictions, any deviation needs UI counsil approval.

2. FPM enforces the UI guidelines in the implemented applications.In 7.02 you even have a option to say wihich UI guidelines to enforce (UI 2.0).

3.FPM provides uniform and consistent UI look and feel.

4.Not every developer need to reinvent the wheel,FPM provides floorplans to buid applications based upon these floor plans. (FPM is highly reusable,configurable).
