  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT867 Initial solution: &1 % typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly during the optimization process in the Supply Network Planning (SNP) or Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) modules. This message indicates that the initial solution generated by the optimizer is not satisfactory, often due to constraints or settings in the planning run.
  Cause:
  
  Infeasible Constraints: The constraints set in the planning run may be too strict, making it impossible for the optimizer to find a feasible solution.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with master data, such as incorrect or missing data for materials, resources, or production versions.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the optimizer profile may not be appropriate for the current planning scenario.
  Resource Availability: Resources may not be available as expected, leading to an inability to generate a feasible plan.
  Planning Horizon: The planning horizon may be set incorrectly, causing the optimizer to work with an unrealistic timeframe.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Constraints: Check the constraints defined in the planning run and consider relaxing them if they are too strict.
  Validate Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (materials, resources, etc.) is complete and accurate.
  Adjust Optimizer Settings: Review and adjust the settings in the optimizer profile to better fit the current planning scenario.
  Check Resource Availability: Verify that all required resources are available and correctly defined in the system.
