Item Recommendations with Bulk Actions
The Item Recommendations table, shown in the following figure, shows relevant information for each item. The table actions are used to select multiple items for a price change operation such as accept, reject, override, or add a promotion, markdown, or regular price change. A user can also move the effective start/end dates for a promotion/markdown. Once you make the necessary price or date changes, you can click Recalculate, which updates all the projected metrics for the modified items. When you are satisfied with the recommendations, you can perform recommendation status operations such as Review, Submit, or Approve. Submit or Approve not only send recommendation to the Export Interface, but when integrated with RPCS, also push recommendations in corresponding statuses through a web service.
For details, see Appendix: Promotion and Markdown Run Overview and Appendix: Regular Manage LPO Recommendation.
