Product list vs Product Recommendation

• We use also Product List of type Cross Selling as product recommendations. Based on a product that is already part (required product) of an order or a sales quote, the system shows additional product recommendations. This setup is manual by the key user. With this approach you might also see completely new products recommended for the user.  
• The ML product recommendations are proposing products based on history data only. 
• In general the product list with its product proposals are used similar like listings in SAP ECC backend. Usually only those products from these list can be order. So it is not a recommendation and rather a help for the user to select the right products.

 

How does Product Recommendation work?

• Association rules learning is used for recommending complementary products. It helps in associating one product with another product and tries to answer which products are associated with one another. 
• Machine learning model works by looking for combinations of products that occur together frequently in Purchase history transactions. 
• The model understands various relationships through historical data like account-product, product-product and account-account and learn rules which requires support of several hundred transactions.
• Model training is on Sales quote data. You must have productive usage of completed sales quote in the last one year with minimum 50 unique products.
