Closed as program error.
Error description
When using the ProductDataBean to display the Maximum and Minimum price for the Items that are within a Product, the ProductDataBean will consider all item prices for the product regardless of whether the items are entitled for the shopper. This can lead to a price range that may include prices of items which are not published or available to shoppers, causing a potentially misleading value being reported when displaying the range to the shopper.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce users on v.7.0 who use the ProductDataBean to display price ranges, and have Products with multiple SKUs/Items with different prices where certain Items are not entitled/published for all users and the non-entitled Item(s) is the lowest or highest price within the range of Item prices for the Product. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: The ProductDataBean includes non-entitled products when calculating item Price Ranges. BUSINESS IMPACT: A misleading price range for a product may be displayed in the storefront. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
The ProductDataBean has been modified to only look-up the prices of entitled items while calculating the price range for the product, rather than considering all items for the product. ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
