• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT276 - LP is unbounded ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT276 LP is unbounded typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the linear programming (LP) model being solved does not have a bounded solution. This means that the optimization problem does not have a finite solution, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  Model Formulation Issues: The constraints in the LP model may not be properly defined, leading to an unbounded solution. For example, if there are no upper bounds on decision variables, the solver may find that it can increase the objective function indefinitely.
  
  
  Missing Constraints: If critical constraints are missing, the model may allow for solutions that are not realistic or feasible, resulting in an unbounded solution.
  
  
  Infeasible Data: The input data used for the optimization might be inconsistent or incorrect, leading to a situation where the model cannot find a bounded solution.
  
  
  Objective Function: The objective function may be defined in such
