• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT229 - Setup matrix &1: Triangle inequality for setup costs not fulfiled. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT229 indicates that there is an issue with the setup matrix in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically related to the triangle inequality for setup costs. This error typically arises when the setup costs defined in the setup matrix do not adhere to the triangle inequality principle, which is a mathematical condition that must be satisfied for certain types of optimization problems.
  
  Cause:
  The triangle inequality states that for any three points (or setups in this case), the direct cost from point A to point C should not exceed the cost from A to B plus the cost from B to C. In the context of setup costs, this means that if you have three different production setups, the cost of switching directly from the first to the third should not be greater than the cost of switching from the first to the second plus the
