• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT825 - Choose at least one bottleneck resource ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT825 indicates that during the optimization process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), no bottleneck resources were selected. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling when the system is unable to identify any resources that are constrained or limited in capacity.
  Cause:
  
  No Bottleneck Resources Defined: The system may not have any resources defined as bottlenecks in the planning scenario.
  Resource Capacity Settings: The capacity settings for resources may not be configured correctly, leading the system to believe that all resources have sufficient capacity.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings may not be set up to identify or prioritize bottleneck resources.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data or transaction data that prevent the system from recognizing bottlenecks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Define Bottleneck Resources: Ensure that you have defined bottleneck resources in your planning scenario. This can be done in the resource master data.
  Check Resource Capacity: Review the capacity settings for your resources. Make sure that the capacities are set correctly and that there are resources that are indeed constrained.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and adjust the planning parameters in the APO system to ensure that it is set up to identify bottlenecks.
  Run a Capacity Check: Perform a capacity check to see if any resources are indeed constrained. This can help identify if the issue is with the data or the configuration.
  Review Master Data: Check the master data for any inconsistencies or errors that might affect the identification of bottleneck resources.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OPTIMIZE to run the optimization process and check for bottlenecks.
