JR44343: CMVC 224557 - CAUSE THE PRODUCTDATABEAN TO LIST MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PRICES OF ENTITLED PRODUCTS ONLY.

WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.7 Fix Pack

APAR status

• 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.

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:

  storefront.

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.
