  • Return value of custom strategies has a different format. Previously it was either Map or BigDecimal. Now it can be only Map and we recommend usage of "result" key instead of "price" inside this Map. (PFPCS-7298)

  • New Advanced Configuration entry configuring behavior of Strategy Designer needs to be added. The name of entry is “strategyDesigner”. Its value:

    { "groovyLibraryName": "CustomPricingStrategiesLib", "customBlocksGroovyLibraryName": "StrategyDesignerCustomBlocks", "excludedParameters": [], "deploymentLogicName": "StrategyDesignerDeployment", "livePreviewDependencyLevel": "Global", "dependencyConfigurationTable": "DependencyConfiguration", "priceListLogicName": "IndependentPriceListLogic", "additionalParameters": { "SECONDARY_KEY": { "label": "Secondary Key", "tooltip": "Secondary Key", "type": "string" } } }

     

  • StrategyDefinition has been split into 2 different PP tables:

    • PSP_EngineCalculationConfig of JSON type

      • Type: JSON

      • Columns:

        • name (key)

        • attributeExtension___calculationEnginePath (path to calculating function)

        • attributeExtension___engineCalculationParameters (input parameters to engine passed from PSP)

      • Standard configuration:

        name,attributeExtension___calculationEnginePath,attributeExtension___engineCalculationParameters AnchorEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.AttributeBasedEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(PP),CONSTANT_STRING(AnchorData),CONSTANT_STRING(Anchor),CONSTANT_STRING(SKU),CONSTANT_STRING(FactorToAnchor),SKU,FINAL_LIST_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME,FINAL_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME" AttributeBasedEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.AttributeBasedEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(PP),CONSTANT_STRING(AnchorData),CONSTANT_STRING(Anchor),CONSTANT_STRING(SKU),CONSTANT_STRING(FactorToAnchor),SKU,FINAL_LIST_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME,FINAL_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME,DEPENDENCY_PROPERTIES,STRATEGY_NAME" AvgCompetitionEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.CompetitionEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_BIG_DECIMAL(),CONSTANT_STRING(No),CONSTANT_STRING(50%),COMPETITOR_PRICES,MINIMUM_MARGIN_PRICE" CompetitionEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.CompetitionEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(min),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_BIG_DECIMAL(),CONSTANT_STRING(No),CONSTANT_STRING(),COMPETITOR_PRICES,MINIMUM_MARGIN_PRICE" CostPlusEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.AdjustmentEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(Percentage),PRODUCT_COST,PLUS_FOR_PRODUCT_PERCENTAGE, PLUS_FOR_PRODUCT_ABSOLUTE" KitEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.KitEngine.calculatePrice,"SKU,BOM_LIST,FINAL_LIST_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME,FINAL_PRICE_ELEMENT_NAME" MaxCompetitionEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.CompetitionEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(max),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_BIG_DECIMAL(),CONSTANT_STRING(No),CONSTANT_STRING(),COMPETITOR_PRICES,MINIMUM_MARGIN_PRICE" MinCompetitionEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.CompetitionEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(min),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_BIG_DECIMAL(),CONSTANT_STRING(No),CONSTANT_STRING(),COMPETITOR_PRICES,MINIMUM_MARGIN_PRICE" NetEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.NetEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(PX),CONSTANT_STRING(RecommendedRetailPrices),CONSTANT_STRING(rrp),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_STRING(DependencyLevelName),SKU,TARGET_DATE,DISCOUNTS,DEPENDENCY_INFORMATION_VALUES" PriceIncreaseEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.AdjustmentEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(Absolute),BASE_PRICE,PRICE_INCREASE_PERCENTAGE,PRICE_INCREASE_ABSOLUTE" PromotionLookupEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.LookupEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(PX),CONSTANT_STRING(PromotionPrices),CONSTANT_STRING(promotionPrice),CONSTANT_STRING(validFrom),CONSTANT_STRING(validTo),CONSTANT_STRING(DependencyLevelName),SKU,TARGET_DATE,DEPENDENCY_INFORMATION_VALUES" RRPLookupEngine,libs.CalculationEnginesLib.LookupEngine.calculatePrice,"CONSTANT_STRING(PX),CONSTANT_STRING(RecommendedRetailPrices),CONSTANT_STRING(rrp),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_STRING(),CONSTANT_STRING(DependencyLevelName),SKU,TARGET_DATE,DEPENDENCY_INFORMATION_VALUES"

    • StrategyDefinition

      • Type: Matrix2

      • Columns:

        • key1 (StrategyName)

        • key2 (Level – Independent/Dependent)

        • attribute1 (CalculationEngine – name of the record from PSP_EngineCalculationConfig)

        • attribute2 (ParentLevelOnly)

        • attribute3 (ParentLevelPriority)

        • attribute4 (Overridable)

        • attribute5 (MandatoryStrategy)

        • attribute6 and attribute7 are no longer used

      • Standard configuration:

        key1,key2,attribute1,attribute2,attribute3,attribute4,attribute5,attribute6,attribute7,attribute8,attribute9,attribute10,attribute11,attribute12,attribute13,attribute14,attribute15,attribute16,attribute17,attribute18,attribute19,attribute20,attribute21,attribute22,attribute23,attribute24,attribute25,attribute26,attribute27,attribute28,attribute29,attribute30 Anchor,Dependent,AnchorEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Anchor,Independent,AnchorEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AvgCompetition,Dependent,AvgCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AvgCompetition,Independent,AvgCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Cost+,Dependent,CostPlusEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Cost+,Independent,CostPlusEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Kit,Dependent,KitEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Kit,Independent,KitEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MaxCompetition,Dependent,MaxCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MaxCompetition,Independent,MaxCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MinCompetition,Dependent,MinCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MinCompetition,Independent,MinCompetitionEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PriceIncrease,Dependent,PriceIncreaseEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PriceIncrease,Independent,PriceIncreaseEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PromotionBased,Dependent,PromotionLookupEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PromotionBased,Independent,PromotionLookupEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, RRP,Dependent,RRPLookupEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, RRP,Independent,RRPLookupEngine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      • As you can see above, AdditionalEngineConfiguration inputs are no longer used in PSP engines. These have been replaced by inline engineCalculationParameters. PPs like AnchorAddit‎ionalConfig, AvgCompetitionAdditionalConfig,CostPlusAdditionalConfig ,MaxCompetitionAdditionalConfig ,MinCompetitionAdditionalConfig ,PriceIncreaseAdditionalConfig ,PromotionLookupEngineConfig ,RRPLookupEngineConfig have been removed from StandardConfiguration and are no longer used in PSP.

      • WarningConfig changes:

        • Below error codes are no longer used:

          • UNSUPPORTED_PARENT_SOURCE_TYPE

          • INVALID_PARENT_SOURCE_ID

        • Below entry has been added to StandardConfig:

          • ERROR_GETTING_PARENT_ITEM_CONFIG,*,Couldn't read config of parent PL/PG.,Verify if parent PL/PG exist.,Data,Red,Yes,Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      • DependencyConfiguration changes:

        • PP now has only 2 keys; key3 and key4 responsible for selecting parent PG/PL have been removed.

        • Selection of parent PG/PL will happen independently for each PG/PL now

      • Each of old PL/PG needs to be configured before recalculation:

        • There is a new input in the configurator, for selecting parent PG/PL.

        • Input for DependencyLevel has been renamed, the value needs to be re-entered.

      • Entry “Price Calculator” has been renamed to “Engine Calculator” in PriceSettingConfig PP.
