Hi,

To bring or combine several applications under one umbrella we use Floor Plan Manager.

FPM framework is used in co-ordination with Business applications developed using Web Dynpro ABAP technology.

SRM(Supplier relationship Management) 7.0 and Product Lifecycle Management 7.0 version, Supply Chain Management and some of the other applications which were delivered as part of SAP Business suite were developed using Web Dynpro ABAP.

In each Business suite(PLM or SRM)  there are several Web Dynpro components were developed and several applications were created.

Uing FPM will also increase the consistency of the User Interface.

Hi,

1. If you want to Create/Modify/Delete a Business Process like Create Purchase Order/Change Purchase Order you can use OIF(Object Instance Floorplan) .

2. If you want to only Create a Business Process like Create Purchase Order you can use GIF(Guided Activity Floorplan).

Hi Ashok,

As asked, if you want drag and drop facility between 2 ivews them this can be done using FPM.

There are many uses deepening on the situation you need to use this functionality.
