This document summarizes fixes introduced in the Accelerate Negotiation Guidance Package release version.
Version | 2.0.0 |

Release Date | Nov 24, 2023 |
New Features and Improvements
New Feature Description | ID |
---|---|
Price Gaps are now computed for all features and displayed in a new tab in Step 4 Segmentation, as a dashboard. | PFPCS-6793 |
Percentile computation has been added to the OE computation library. | PFPCS-6946 |
There is now visualization of the distribution before/after optimization (at product/customer level) of discount/margin by segment. | PFPCS-6982 |
There is a new Alignment Type option: Reference based. It allows you to choose a reference value and define price gaps that the similar segments corresponding to another dimension value should reach in average. | PFPCS-7250 |
Next to discount rate, margin rate can now also be used as optimization target. | PFPCS-7259 |
At every calculation step, outdated tables are now dropped to avoid confusion about the state of the model. | PFPCS-7273 |
Improved feature recommendations: features are applicable as for hierarchy even if ignored due to low importance. | PFPCS-7320 |
Recommendations of alignment are now provided by the accelerator. | PFPCS-7335 |
The minimal working partition is now [10.4.14,11.0), [11.1.4,). | PFPCS-7393 |
Logics and Model Class have been renamed: logic name now starts with the prefix "NG2", Model Class name is "Negotiation Guidance 2". | PFPCS-7428 |
In step 5 Results in the Recommendations tab, there are now Achieved gaps shown, in relation to Current average gaps and Requested gaps. | PFPCS-7445 |
Values coming from aligned segments are now used to compute recommendations and impact. | PFPCS-7468 |
To make the process of setting Negotiation Guidance smoother and faster, tooltips have been added in the UI and wording has been improved. | PFPCS-7486 |
The latest version of Optimization Engine (v2) is now used in Negotiation Guidance, with resources set to 4 CPU and 8 Gi memory. | PFPCS-7493 |
Default preferences for layout are now part of the accelerator release. | PFPCS-7507 |
Calls of | PFPCS-7512 |
In Results, there is a new table Segment Alignment Impact showing what impact the OE had per segment. | PFPCS-7585 |
In the Configuration step, colors of the hierarchy graph have been adjusted to create a subtle, yet clear palette. | PFPCS-7617 |
Fixed Issues
Bug Description | ID |
---|---|
Selecting more than 20 segmentation levels leads to an error during creation of the parameters table (after the computation of the segmentation). | PFPCS-6937 |
In the Definition step, it is possible to select the same column twice and this causes an error only at the Segmentation step. | PFPCS-7172 |
A dimension is not visible in the selection matrix even though it was returned with top importance. | PFPCS-7184 |
In the Analysis step, in order to handle large datasets, cardinality of fields are now fetch in batch and not anymore all at once.  | PFPCS-7318 |
Price driver listed as numerical were not always numerical. So there is a new category "Other feature" for such cases (meaning the feature was not defined as a dimension in the Datamart). | PFPCS-7319 |
"Meta" evaluation to check for elasticity does not work correctly as it causes Price Waterfall accelerator to time out. | PFPCS-7339 |
Optimization percent defaults are wrong: the default CEILING should be 90 : 10. | PFPCS-7367 |
In the Analysis step > Price Driver Candidate tab, target selected in the Definition step should not appear. | PFPCS-7384 |
When setting up a hierarchy link (in the hierarchy portlet) between pairs of features, some hierarchies were not displayed. | PFPCS-7417 |
If there are segments with CoV = 0, mostly coming from the same target for each transaction in the segment, you get an error "Unable to calculate metrics based on elasticity". To avoid such a case, the standard deviation should be capped. | PFPCS-7430 |
The field List Price in the Definition step does not get a value from the default data mapping. | PFPCS-7458 |
It is not possible to clear a non mandatory input Weight Measure in the Definition Step when it had a value set during deployment. | PFPCS-7459 |
When you set a column twice during mapping in Definition step and calculate using "Execute all next steps", the calculation fails only in the last step (instead of immediately). | PFPCS-7476 |
There is a timeout in the Alignment Review tab in the Result step with ~1m rows of data. | PFPCS-7547 |
Alignment option is not available if a Weight Measure is defined at the Definition step. | PFPCS-7590 |
