• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER207 - Product &1 at transportation lane &2: Discrete constraints violated ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER207 indicates that there are discrete constraints being violated for a specific product at a transportation lane during the optimization process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling, where certain constraints must be adhered to in order to ensure that the planning process is feasible.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Discrete Constraints: These are constraints that require certain conditions to be met, such as minimum or maximum lot sizes, production quantities, or specific production sequences. If the planned production or transportation does not meet these constraints, the error will be triggered.
  
  
  Transportation Lane Configuration: The configuration of the transportation lane may not allow for the planned quantities or types of products. This could include restrictions on the types of products that can be transported together or limitations on the capacity of the transportation lane.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Incorrect or incomplete master data for the product or transportation lane can lead to violations of constraints. This includes issues with product characteristics, transportation lane settings, or production resources.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may not align with the actual capabilities or constraints of the production and transportation processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Discrete Constraints: Check the discrete constraints defined for the product and transportation lane. Ensure that the planned production quantities and sequences comply with these constraints.
  
  
  Adjust Transportation Lane Settings: Verify the configuration of the transportation lane. Make sure that it is set up correctly to handle the products being planned. This includes checking capacity, allowed product types, and any other relevant settings.
  
  
  Check Master Data: Review the master data for the product and transportation lane. Ensure that all necessary information is complete and accurate, including product characteristics, transportation lane definitions, and any relevant production resources.
  
  
  Modify Planning Parameters: If necessary, adjust the planning parameters in the APO system to better align with the actual production and transportation capabilities.
  
  
  Run the Optimization Again: After making the necessary adjustments, rerun the optimization process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OPTIMIZER to access the optimizer settings and review the planning run details.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling this error.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on discrete constraints and transportation lane configuration for more detailed information on how to set these up correctly.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
