Business value

In Dynamics 365 Commerce, the Copilot-based summary and insights for merchandising data offer an interactive summary panel, automated data validations, and risk previews. By proactively identifying errors and inconsistencies in merchandising configurations, Copilot ensures data accuracy and empowers users to take corrective actions promptly. Properly configured products are essential for retail success, as inaccuracies can lead to missed sales opportunities.

Feature details

The Copilot-based summary and insights for merchandising data in Dynamics 365 Commerce offers valuable capabilities:

  • Interactive Summary Panel: When users navigate to a channel in the Channel Categories and Product Attributes forms within Commerce headquarters, Copilot displays a summary panel. This panel provides insights and highlights potential issues related to merchandising configurations, such as product, category, and catalog-related settings.
  • Automated Data Validations: Copilot enables automatic runs of various merchandising data validations. By using artificial intelligence (AI), it identifies errors and inconsistencies in your configurations. This proactive approach helps maintain data accuracy and consistency.
  • Risk Preview: Merchandisers can preview risks identified by Copilot. This feature allows you to assess potential issues before they impact your operations, empowering you to take corrective actions promptly.

The Copilot-based summary and insights feature can be disabled and reenabled using the Enable Copilot based summary and insights for merchandising data feature management switch in Dynamics 365 Commerce headquarters. This feature is available in the Dynamics 365 Commerce 10.0.41 release, and has also been included in the Commerce 10.0.38, 10.0.39, and 10.0.40 releases through proactive quality updates (PQUs) to facilitate adoption.
