BPro Data Light

Description

BPro Data Light shows BPro Data (λ0, βI, βO, βL, kI, kR, kL and the BPro amounts XIP … P) as a “BPro” report in WooCommerce > Analytics, built like the Products report: summary tabs above the chart, one column per value in the table, a “Show” filter, a date range.

Compared with the full WC BPro Data plugin it is “light” in three ways:

1. One settings page (WooCommerce > BPro Light) with “Show BPro Data at the WooCommerce Analytics” and the Danger Zone “Reset All”. No Import, Structure or Segment pages, metaboxes, Dashboard alerts or admin-bar light.
2. No wp_wc_bpro_data table. The BPro values are calculated from the WooCommerce data and cached in transients.
3. It follows the WooCommerce Analytics data update. Whenever WooCommerce syncs an order into its Analytics data (woocommerce_analytics_update_order_stats, woocommerce_order_scheduler_after_import_order), or an order is trashed / deleted, the order is queued and the BPro data is updated about a minute later in one batch. A regular update (every 15 minutes) catches anything else. The “Data status” box at the top right of Analytics > BPro shows when the data was last updated and when the next update runs; its button updates it right now.

What is stored

• Transients bpro_data_light_p_{id} and bpro_data_light_index: the calculated per-product data. They can be rebuilt from WooCommerce at any time; if they are lost the plugin rebuilds them automatically (first run: all orders, in time-boxed batches).
• Option bpro_data_light_state: the update queue and the last update time.
• Option bpro_data_light_restocks: stock-ins (XLP / XLM). WooCommerce keeps only the current stock quantity, never a history of stock-ins, so these cannot be recalculated; they are recorded when the stock goes up, plus the “starting stock” taken when the plugin is activated.

The calculation of an order’s values (XIP, XIM, YIP, YIM, TXP, TXM, YLP, YLM, DP) and of the balances and ratios is the same as in the full plugin, so both give the same numbers for the same orders.

Notes

• Do not run it together with the full WC BPro Data plugin (both add a “BPro” report to Analytics): Light pauses itself and shows a notice if the full plugin is active.
• Product cost comes from WooCommerce’s Cost of Goods Sold (the cost locked into each order item); stock-ins use the product’s current cost.
• The gauge limits are the defaults: the daily bank rate (derived from a 10% annual rate) for βI, βO, βL and 1 for kI, kR, kL. Filters: bpro_data_light_npv_discount_rate, bpro_data_light_daily_bank_rate, bpro_data_light_gauge_limit, bpro_data_light_sync_interval, bpro_data_light_sync_delay.
