Problem Note 47010: Final forecasts for new products that do not have like items defined are incorrectly assigned nonzero values

In SAS® Promotion Optimization or SAS® Regular Price Optimization, the final forecasts should be 0 for new products that do not have like items defined. However, the final forecasts are incorrectly getting a nonzero value because the INT effect estimate is not correct when EXCLUDE_NP_FROM_SHARE is enabled.
