The calculation of recommendations with LS Recommend is usually run automatically by using a scheduled job in LS Central. It is, however, also possible to perform the calculation manually, if needed. For instance during implementation and testing, or if an LS Recommend batch should be recalculated after changing setup data.
To calculate LS Recommend manually
- Click the
icon, enter LS Recommend Batches, and select the relevant link. - Select an existing batch, or click the New action to create a new batch. Refer to How to: Set Up LS Recommend Batches for details on how to fill in the necessary fields.
- Click Calculation - Calculate Recomm. Batch to start the recommendation calculation.
- Click Calculation - Check Calculation Status to check if the calculation has been completed and the batch's model is ready to be loaded to the LS Recommend Model Reader. The possible calculation statuses are:
- New - The batch is newly created and has not been calculated yet.
- Busy - The batch's recommendation calculation is in progress.
- Ready - The batch is ready to be used and loaded to the LS Recommend Model Reader.
- DataError - Sales history data mismatch with POS Terminals master data, or there is no sales history.
- EmptyModel - No meaningful recommendation can be produced due to items that appear to be sold individually more often than any other items.
- Error - Unexpected or LS Recommend Engine error.
- Click the Load Recomm. Batch action, once the status is ready. This action will load the calculated model into the relevant Model Readers and unload it from the Model Readers that are no longer in use.
Tip: The complete process or steps of LS Recommend calculation can be scheduled and run automatically with a Scheduler job.
All recommendation calculation details are logged in the LS Recommend Calculation Logs. Note: The calculation logs for manual recommendation calculation will not be updated immediately, but only upon the next manual or scheduled recommendation calculation.
