Description: Profile in Supply Network Planning that contains settings for optimization.
Term: SNP optimizer profile
Component: SCM-APO-SNP Supply Network Planning (SNP)
Definition: An SNP optimizer profile in SAP APO is a configuration object that defines the parameters and settings used by the Supply Network Planning (SNP) optimizer to solve planning problems. It controls how the optimizer runs, including algorithm selection, time limits, and solution strategies, to generate feasible and cost-effective supply plans.
How It’s Used: In real SAP APO SNP projects, the optimizer profile is assigned when running optimization jobs to plan supply and demand across the network. It influences how the system balances constraints like capacities, lead times, and costs to produce an optimal plan. For example, during a global supply planning run, the optimizer profile determines whether the system prioritizes cost minimization or service level, and how long it spends searching for the best solution.
