Technical User Reference (Optimization - Shelf Price)
This section details the Model Class and the logics that the Optimization - Shelf Price Accelerator deploys. For each step, its aim, its outputs, and the main reasons to modify the logics are explained. If there is a need to modify the logics, refer to the process in Optimization Accelerator Customization and to documentation in https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/2873786384, https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3865509998, and https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3863577213.
In this section:
Shelf Price Model Class
The Shelf Price Model Class organizes a list of logics to create the model architecture. It is transformed into an UI in the Pricefx platform that is organized in 4 steps:
Definition − Maps the sources of data and filters out invalid values.
Scope − Sets the scope of the optimization.
Configuration − Sets the parameters of the optimization.
Results − Looks at the outputs of the optimization.
There are two types of logics: calculation
, which writes tables in the model, and evaluation
, whose purpose is only to display some results. The standard Model Class definition is documented in https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3862364240.
All the logics of the Optimization - Shelf Price Accelerator follow a standard naming convention: first “SP_” prefix, then the first letters of the step name, then “Calc” or “Eval”, depending on the formula nature, then the name of the tab. In the end, there is a library logic named SP_Lib.
Library
The logic is SP_Lib.
Definition Step
There is no calculation logic run in this step. The tabs are Sales, Stock, and Competition, and their related logics are SP_Def_Eval_Sales, SP_Def_Eval_Sales_Configurator, SP_Def_Eval_Stock, SP_Def_Eval_Stock_Configurator, SP_Def_Eval_Competition and SP_Def_Eval_Competition_Configurator.
Sales Tab
The logics are SP_Def_Eval_Sales and SP_Def_Eval_Sales_Configurator.
Stock Tab
The logics are SP_Def_Eval_Stock and SP_Def_Eval_Stock_Configurator.
Competition Tab
The logics are SP_Def_Eval_Competition and SP_Def_Eval_Competition_Configurator.
Scope Step
The calculation logic is SP_Sco_Calc_Dataprep and there is one tab called Scope.
Calculation: Data Preparation
The logic is SP_Sco_Calc_Dataprep.
Scope Tab
The logics are SP_Sco_Eval_Scope and SP_Sco_Eval_Scope_Configurator.
Configuration Step
The calculation logic is SP_Conf_Calc_Aggregation and there are five tabs: General, Price, Competition, Stock, and Channels.
Aggregation Calculation
The name of the logic is SP_Conf_Calc_Aggregation.
Configuration Tabs Logics
The logics are SP_Conf_Eval_General_Configurator, SP_Conf_Eval_Boundaries_Configurator, SP_Conf_Eval_Competition_Configurator, SP_Conf_Eval_StockCoverage_Configurator, SP_Conf_Eval_Channels_Configurator.
Results Step
The calculation logics are SP_Res_Calc_Run_Initialization, SP_Res_Calc_Run_Optimization, and SP_Res_Cal_PrepareResults. There are four tabs: Impact, Details, Glassbox, and Evaluation.
Calculation: Run Initialization
The logic is SP_Res_Calc_Run_Initialization.
Calculation: Run Optimization
The logic is SP_Res_Calc_Run_Optimization.
Calculation: Prepare Results
The logic is SP_Res_Calc_PrepareResults.
Impact Tab
The logic is SP_Res_Eval_Impact.
Details Tab
The logic is SP_Res_Eval_Details.
Glassbox and Drivers Tabs
The logics are SP_Res_Eval_Glassbox and SP_Res_Eval_Drivers.
Evaluation Tab
The logic is SP_Res_Eval_Evaluation.
