• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT217 - Location &1, product &2: receipt upper and lower bounds are redundant ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT217 indicates that there is a redundancy in the receipt upper and lower bounds for a specific location and product in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs when the constraints set for the receipt quantities are conflicting or overlapping in a way that makes them redundant.
  
  Cause:
  
  Redundant Bounds: The upper and lower bounds for receipts are set in such a way that they do not provide meaningful constraints. For example, if the lower bound is set to a value that is greater than or equal to the upper bound, it creates a logical inconsistency.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the planning parameters for the product or location can lead to this error.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when defining the bounds can also lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Receipt Bounds: Check the receipt upper and lower bounds for the specified location and product. Ensure
