Problem Note 44461: Actual metrics might be incorrect for partial week promotions
 |  |  |  |  |
When using SAS® Promotion Optimization, you might notice that the actual metrics for promoted products might be incorrect if the promotion does not cover an entire week. There is no workaround for this issue.
In addition, the actual metrics of a promotion plan might be incorrect. The workaround for this issue is to view these metrics in the calendar/category view. In a future release, the actual metrics will be removed from the Objective Scope metrics table in the Promotion Details view.
Once the hot fix is installed, the AVG_COST information in the STG_PROMOTION_SALES table is required. Please refer to the Predeployment Guide and associated Errata for details about the STG_PROMOTION_SALES table.
