What is SNP optimization bound profile in SAP SCM-APO-SNP - Supply Network Planning (SNP)?

SAP Term: SNP optimization bound profile

• Component: SCM-APO-SNP

• Component Name: Supply Network Planning (SNP)

• Description: Profile that is used to limit the optimization run in Supply Network Planning. If, after an SNP optimizer planning run, you need to perform a new planning run, you can use the optimization bound profile to improve planning stability by limiting possible decision variable deviations from the previous optimization plan. The optimization bounds that you define limit the values of the following decision variables: Production Transportation Procurement Delivery Storage

• Key Concepts: 
  The SNP optimization bound profile is a component of the Supply Network Planning (SNP) module in SAP. It is used to define the upper and lower bounds for the optimization process. The upper and lower bounds are used to limit the optimization process to a certain range, ensuring that the results are within acceptable parameters. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SNP optimization bound profile is used to define the upper and lower bounds for the optimization process. The upper and lower bounds are used to limit the optimization process to a certain range, ensuring that the results are within acceptable parameters. The profile can be set up in the SAP system by navigating to the Supply Network Planning (SNP) module and selecting the “Optimization Bound Profile” option. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an SNP optimization bound profile, it is important to ensure that the upper and lower bounds are set correctly. If they are too low, then the optimization process may not be able to find an optimal solution. If they are too high, then the optimization process may take too long or produce results that are not within acceptable parameters.
