When using the PromotionalPriceDataBean to calculate the lowest available price for an item, it does not take promotions with public promotion codes into consideration. As a result a lower price than what's listed at the store front may be available but it is not shown to the customer.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce users who are using the PromotionalPriceDataBean to calculate/display promotion prices to users, and use public, non-unique promotion codes. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: PromotionalPriceDataBean does not take promotion codes into consideration BUSINESS IMPACT: Lowest available promotion price may not be calculated and displayed to the customer at the store front. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
A boolean flag has been introduced to the PromotionalPriceDataBean class which will include additional promotions with promotion codes for evaluation. By default the flag is set to false. If one would wish to consider promotion with promotion codes, the flag must be set to "true" by invoking the method "setIncludePublicCodePromotions" in the PromotionalPriceDataBean class prior to calling the "populate" method. Please note that only promotions with public codes (i.e. not unique) are considered in its evaluation. ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
