A Appendix: AI Foundation Services Used by LPO

Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Service provides shared capabilities that support Lifecycle Pricing Optimization. LPO users work primarily in the LPO application, while selected configuration, forecasting, data-access, and assisted-analysis activities use shared AI Foundation services. The capabilities available to a user depend on the retailer’s implementation, configuration, and assigned access.

For descriptions of other AI Foundation capabilities that are not specific to LPO, see the latest Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Service User Guide on the Oracle Help Center.

AI Foundation Capability	How It Supports LPO?	More Information
Forecast Engine	Provides the forecast configurations used by Promotion, Markdown, and Forecast-Based Regular Pricing. Forecast run types are configured, tested, and mapped to the applications that consume their forecasts. Rules-Based Regular Pricing does not require a forecast.	See Understanding the LPO Workflow and the Forecast Engine chapter in the Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Service User Guide.
Control and Tactical Center	Provides the shared workspace for creating and maintaining business rules and strategies. The default strategy supports scheduled batch runs, while custom strategies can be used for What-If analysis.	See LPO Rules and Strategies and the Control and Tactical Center chapter in the Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Service User Guide.
Innovation Workbench	Provides access to supported application data for retailer-specific queries, analysis, and extensions.	See Appendix B, Innovation Workbench Tables for LPO, and the Innovation Workbench chapter in the Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Service User Guide.
Digital Assistant	Provides conversational access to product guidance and supported analysis using natural-language questions.	See Digital Assistant.
Shared Access and notifications	Provides common application access, navigation, and notifications for supported Oracle Retail services.	See Accessing LPO and Notifications.
