Get familiar with the new changes/ enhancements

Category level discount cleanup benchmark in Optimum Depth

• A new input Category level discount cleanup benchmark has been added to the Optimum Depth inputs page

• In this input, the user can define the period-category-level discount benchmarks against which the historical discount on each day in the analysis period for the EANs has to be checked and cleaned up

Open

Category Discount Benchmark

• If a category and period combination is given in this input then the discount benchmark provided will be used, else the discount benchmark present in the input periods section will be used.

Greater visibility in Allocation and Inter store transfer module outputs

• Previously, the outputs from the Allocation and Inter store transfer module had only those combinations that were part of Warehouse stock or were present in the store.

• Now along with this, all the store-style combinations that had sales in the recent ROS period will be printed, creating greater visibility into the decisions made and the sales history in the output.

Dynamic Attribute level planogram template

• In the Planogram input, the attribute column let us define the planogram for a store+category at any of the attribute levels and this attribute at which the Planogram is defined is selected in the Allocation module’s setup inputs section

• Now as an enhancement, once the input is selected, the template for the planogram input will automatically include the attribute that is selected in this input

Open

Allocation Setup Inputs

Other Value Additions

'Blank rows inserted' upload validation is removed

• The tool was validating the empty rows added at the end and threw an error during input uploads.

• It will now automatically clean up these empty rows

New upload validation in ‘Reference Store Mapping For New Stores input’

• From now on a store_code cannot be in both the new_store and reference_store columns

• If a store_code is present in both columns the upload will fail

Users can now run the tool on 1st of every month

• Earlier in the tool, while running any module on past days, the users were allowed to run only on the Mondays

• Now they can run on all past Mondays and the 1st of every month

Change in the wording of remarks in the distribution

• The “Store Style has zero ROS” remark is now changed to “No NP size allocated as the style has zero ROS” as it was printed only in cases of NP sizes when the store style has zero ROS.
