Promotion and price columns in your file
Choose your promotion column (and unit price) when you upload: each product's promotion effect is learned from your history.
- On New forecast, under Promotions, choose the column that marks promotions: yes/no, 0/1, or a discount amount or percentage.
- Optionally choose the Unit price column.
- For planned promotions, add rows dated after your last sale with the product, the promotion filled in and the sales left empty.
The models learn normal sales with promotions taken out, then each product's promotion effect is added back, including the dip in sales right after a promotion. This is kept only if it makes the forecast more accurate on your recent sales; the result says either way.
Promotions that are the same for the whole shop on the same days can also go in the Calendar. Use the column when promotions differ per product.
A price effect is learned only for products whose price really changed outside promotions, and it's used only where your file plans a different price.
