• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT286 - Fixed partial problem cannot be solved ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT286 Fixed partial problem cannot be solved typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system encounters an issue while trying to solve a planning problem that has fixed constraints or parameters. This error indicates that the optimization problem cannot be solved due to the constraints set in the planning run.
  Causes:

  Solutions:
  
  Review Constraints: Check the constraints defined in the planning run. Consider relaxing some constraints to allow for a feasible solution.
  Data Validation: Ensure that all relevant master data (e.g., product, location, resource) and transaction data (e.g., demand, supply) are correctly maintained and complete.
  Resource Capacity: Verify that the resource capacities are correctly defined and that they can meet the demand. Adjust resource capacities if necessary.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure they are set up correctly for the optimization process.
