JR53864: Shoppers can select defining attributes for products that do not exist or are not available

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On the Product Display Page, the shopper is able to select any
  combination of defining attributes from the drop-down boxes in
  the Aurora starter store, without any restrictions.  This might
  lead to the selection of a SKU that does not exist and cannot be
   added to cart.

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce V7 Feature Pack 7 or later Aurora starter
  store users.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Shoppers can select defining attributes for products that do not
   exist or are not available
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Shoppers are misled to think that certain defining attribute
  combinations are available for purchase.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Whenever a dropdown value is selected, it will remove all other
  options that are invalid in all other dropdown options and add
  the current selection to a list of selected attribute values.
  The user can then press "x" to remove the selected attribute, or
   continue selecting more options.
  
  With this implementation, shoppers are allowed to select valid
  defining attribute combinations only.
