• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP773 - 'Interior Point Method' flag will be reset when selecting 'Automatic'. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP773 indicates that the "Interior Point Method" flag will be reset when the "Automatic" option is selected in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system, specifically in the Supply Network Planning (SNP) module.
  Cause:
  This message typically arises when a user attempts to run a planning run or optimization in SNP and has selected the "Automatic" option for the optimization method. The "Interior Point Method" is a specific algorithm used for optimization, but when "Automatic" is selected, the system defaults to a different method that may not support the Interior Point Method. As a result, the system resets the flag for the Interior Point Method.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Manual Selection of Optimization Method:
  
  Instead of selecting "Automatic," manually choose the optimization method that you want to use. If you want to use the Interior Point Method, ensure that it is explicitly selected.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Settings:
  
  Check the planning settings in the SNP configuration to ensure that the desired optimization methods are correctly set up and available for use.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to SNP and optimization methods to understand the implications of selecting different methods and how they interact.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  If you are an administrator, review the system configuration settings to ensure that the optimization methods are properly configured and that there are no restrictions on using the Interior Point Method.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test planning run to verify that the error message no longer appears and that the desired optimization method is being applied.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Optimization Methods in SNP: Familiarize yourself with the different optimization methods available in SNP, including the Interior Point Method and others like the Simplex Method.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on optimization settings.
