Link Product Recommendation Model with Quotes

You can connect a Product Recommendation model to Quotes either with Product Recommendation API or without it.

Connect Model to Quotes via Product Recommendation API

After you create and define a new Product Recommendation Model, you need to update a specific Advanced Configuration Option to instruct the Quoting module which model to query for recommendations.

A template of the Advanced Configuration Option for Product Recommendations is deployed from PlatformManager and you only need to update it with a proper model name.

  1. Go to Administration > Configuration > Advanced Configuration Options.

  2. Find the option named "quoteProductRecommendationsConfig".

  3. Edit its value – change the modelName to the unique name of the model you created.

  4. Save the changes.

For an example of the content of this Advanced Configuration Option, see Product Recommendation API.

Connect Model to Quotes without Product Recommendation API

There is a second way of connecting a model to Quotes, in which Product Recommendations are created on the Quote Line Item level. It does not use Product Recommendation API, and recommendations are obtained directly from the model, by calling the model evaluation.
