Calculation

The Calculation stage creates the CDTs for all of the partitions that you selected in the Data Setup stage. A separate CDT calculation occurs for each partition. For example, if you selected two CMPO nodes, and the system also has two customer segments and three locations, then that is a total of 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 CDTs at the lowest level. In addition, there are CDTs at the higher levels (for example, above location).

Process

Here is the high-level process for calculating CDTs.

1. Enter a unique name for the version of the CDTs to be calculated.

2. Enter values for lowest tree level and minimum percentage of SKUs.

3. Use the check boxes to indicate whether or not only the top-level processing calculation should occur for location or customer segment.

4. Customize the ranking of the category attributes if necessary.

5. Click Run to start the calculation.

6. Review the calculation results in the Calculation Report and the CDT Score Distribution histogram.

7. After reviewing the results, if necessary, make changes to the values for the calculation in Version Setup and re-run the stage.

8. When you are satisfied with the results, click Next to go to the Evaluation stage.
