LPO Run

In LPO, a run refers to a single execution of the optimization process, based on a defined set of business goals, strategies, and rules. It uses input data such as historical sales, forecasts, and inventory to generate pricing recommendations for a specific scope such as season, location, merchandise level, and period.

A run can be for promotion, markdown, or regular price optimization, and it can be a batch run or a what-if run. Batch runs are scheduled and use the default business strategy to generate forecasts (when applicable) and recommendations. What-If runs are user-initiated price optimizations that apply a custom strategy to test alternate pricing approaches without impacting live data.
