APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you try to update the OFFER database table through XML messages, the combination of partnumber and member id will be used to obtain a catentry. Then, the catentry_id along with PRECEDENCE will be used to obtain OFFER_ID, but not respect TRADEPOSCN_ID. As a result, if there are 2 OFFER records with the same PRECEDENCE (but different TRADEPOSCN_ID), it may pick the wrong OFFER_ID and update the wrong OFFER record.
Local fix
Problem summary

Problem conclusion
Updated logic. If TRADEPOSCN_ID is provided in XML message, get OFFER based on the combination of TRADEPOSCN_ID & PRECEDENCE along with catentry_id (which is obtained based on PARTNUMBER and MEMBER_ID). Otherwise, get OFFER based on PRECEDENCE along with catentry_id.
