Earlier in allocation module, Top sellers were identified on the basis of revenue per day benchmark and min live days criteria at a category level. This lead to an increased likelihood of high price range articles being identified as Top Seller
To completely eradicate this bias, we will be identifying Top sellers within the category and Price Bucket for each storeThe increase the accuracy, Revenue/Day condition of a top seller which was at the category level is now moved to the category+price bucket level
Refining size set calculation to be met at style level during allocation
Initially , was not getting normalized at style level leading to unfulfilled allocation as per size depthduring allocations, the size set gets divided amongst all sizes present in the Attribute Group. This disregards the possibility of a style not having all the sizes of that Attribute group in which case the size set would not be met. For example: If an AG has 8 sizes while a style only has 5 sizes, the allocation was being done for 5 sizes in the contribution of the sizes in the AG i.e. only 60% of the size set was being met leading to the allocation quantity less than that of the size set
Now, the size depth calculation is getting normalized at the style level which would ensure the entire size set is being send to the store

Initially in the allocation module, ‘Additional DOH cover for Top Sellers’ was the input parameter that directly identified cover days for Top Sellers
Now, two new input parameters ‘Additional % cover days multiplier for Top sellers’ and ‘Increment Max SKU depth for Top sellers’ under the Top Seller section have been added
New cover days formula for the top sellers would be: repl_cycle_days * Additional % cover days multiplier for Top sellers (repl_cycle_days is a column found in Planogram input)For better identification of top sellers, a toggle- ‘Increment Max SKU depth for Top sellers’ has been introduced which enables the user to adjust the max SKU depth for Top sellers.
‘Max SKU depth’ in case of top sellers would get incremented as per the 'Additional % cover days multiplier for Top sellers'
...
. This is done via the toggle- ‘Increment Max SKU depth for Top sellers’. If the 'Increment Max SKU depth for top sellers' is set to “Yes” then the Max SKU depth formula for top sellers would be: round(max SKU depth * Additional % cover days multiplier for Top sellers)
