Customers dataset

The customers dataset contains key information about customers used in manufacturing pricing scenarios. It defines who products are being quoted and sold to, and enables pricing analysis at customer and segment levels.

This dataset is required for both application deployment and pricing insights analysis.

→ For the canonical technical schema (data types, validation rules, request/response examples), see Customer in the API Guide.

Purpose

The commercial pricing solution uses the customers dataset to:

  • Identify customers associated with quotes and sales transactions
  • Enable customer-level pricing analysis
  • Support segmentation and categorization for pricing strategies
  • Differentiate pricing behavior across customer categories and subcategories

This dataset is essential for Quote Pricing use cases.

Required fields

About the Nullable column: every field below must appear in your data. Nullable: Yes means the field can be sent as null (or left blank in your source) when no value is available; Nullable: No means a non-null value is required for every row.

FieldDescriptionTypeNullable
customer_idUnique identifier for each customer. Used to join customer metadata to quotations and sales for model training.stringNo

Usage notes

  • All customers referenced in the Quote Line and Sales datasets must exist in the Customers dataset.
  • The customer_id must be consistent across all related datasets.
  • The source field distinguishes between records created by the Peak application and customer-provided records
  • Accurate customer categorization improves segmentation-based pricing strategies.

Why this dataset matters

Without the Customers dataset, the solution cannot evaluate quote pricing behavior, analyze customer-level demand response, or generate customer-specific pricing recommendations.
