Error description
If you applied the cumulative iFix JR53048, which includes APAR JR48039, then you notice that discounted promotional prices are incorrectly displayed on Product display pages, even when the "includePublicCodePromotions" flag in the PromotionalPriceDataBean is set to "false". The issue occurs because the promotion code condition checker is not evaluated when the "includePublicCodePromotions" flag is set to false.
