• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER124 - Transportation lane &1: Piecewise linear cost function not considered ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER124 indicates that there is an issue with the transportation lane configuration in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module of SAP. Specifically, it suggests that a piecewise linear cost function defined for a transportation lane is not being considered during the optimization process.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The piecewise linear cost function may not be properly configured for the transportation lane in question. This could be due to missing parameters or incorrect settings.
  Incompatibility: The optimizer may not support the piecewise linear cost function for the specific scenario or configuration being used.
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data related to the transportation lane, such as costs, distances, or other relevant parameters.
  Optimization Settings: The settings in the optimizer may not be configured to utilize piecewise linear cost functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transportation Lane Configuration:
  
  Go to the transportation lane settings in the SAP APO system.
  Verify that the piecewise linear cost function is correctly defined and that all necessary parameters are filled in.
  
  
  
  Review Cost Function:
  
  Ensure that the piecewise linear cost function is valid and that it meets the requirements for the optimizer.
  Check for any gaps or inconsistencies in the cost function definition.
  
  
  
  Validate Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant data for the transportation lane is complete and accurate.
  Check for any missing entries or incorrect values that could affect the optimization process.
  
  
  
  Optimizer Settings:
  
  Review the settings of the optimizer to ensure that it is configured to consider piecewise linear cost functions.
  If necessary, adjust the settings to enable the use of these cost functions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring piecewise linear cost functions and transportation lanes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test optimization to see if the error persists. Monitor the logs for any additional messages that may provide further insight.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring transportation lanes and cost functions.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation related to SAP APO and transportation planning to better understand the configuration and optimization processes.
