Order Line Item Table
The order line item data may be provided as an independent dataset OR as a list of objects included in each order. In either case the line item objects must adhere to the schema defined below, with one exception: If you provide the order line items as an independent dataset you must include a unique identifier for each line item.
This table should include line item details for all historical orders for
products in your store. This table is connected to the orders table via
order_id.
Time Period: 12 months
Why do we need this? We use this information to train our pricing models including calculating the elasticities of your products and projecting future performance. We look at orders at a line item level as well as an order level to see relationships between items within a basket and at a customer-level
