What is a Run

A Run is the execution of a set of system calculations to generate recommendations based on the latest available inputs.

IPO-IO supports two kinds of runs: user runs and batch runs. Batch runs are scheduled to run automatically at regular intervals (for example, weekly or daily). By default, the batch runs are scheduled for daily execution. User runs are typically created by the user to do what-if analysis and/or to override the recommendations generated by the latest batch run. IPO-IO runs generate recommendations at the item-location level. The items that are included in a run can be selected by specifying one, a multiple, or all of the nodes at a higher merchandise level, such as department. This level is configurable. Similarly, the locations that are to be included in a run can be selected by specifying one, a multiple, or all the nodes at a higher location level, such as area. This level is configurable.
