• 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 that the lower bound is less than the upper bound. Adjust the values accordingly.
  Check Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters and settings for the product and location in the APO system. Make sure they are configured correctly and do not conflict with each other.
  Data Consistency: Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the master data related to the product and location. This includes checking for any other constraints that may be affecting the receipt bounds.
  Re-run Planning: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning run to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/MC90 (for checking planning parameters) to review and adjust the settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help guides related to APO and receipt planning for more detailed information on setting bounds and constraints.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resolving it.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP APO expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
