Commerce Server 2002 SP2, Windows Server 2003 SE.
We were editing a product in one of our catalogs. We changed the pre-ordered
option from False to True and Saved. Looking at the Product Variants after
this change we noticed that the price for each variant had reverted to 0.00.

We thought this maybe because the Default Price was set to 0.00. On playing
around with this we have found that sometimes if the Default Price is set
explicitly (to any value) then the price of each variant remains as it
should. Other times it would not remain. Is this a known bug? Is it fixed in
SP3 or FP1.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Jake,

I've seen this problem before but it's been a while so I don't feel I can
speak authoritatively, but here's what I remember. I think what happens is
that when a product family is edited, the variant prices revert to the value
stored in the OriginalPrice field, which is populated with cy_list_price at
the time the variant is created. The behavior is there to manage the price
when products change from "indirect pricing" (where pricing is based on a
products association with a pricing category) back to direct pricing (where
pricing is based on the product's own price). See the topics "Using Current
Product Prices vs Original Product Prices" and "Product Pricing Methods" in
the Commerce Server documentation for more information. We never used
indirect pricing, but it seems like maybe some other conditions trigger this
behavior.

Hi Vinayak

The symptoms in KB832248 looks like the same behaviour we are getting. I
will have to check out SP3 and get back to you.

Many thanks
