Commerce Service Center uses four calculators for pricing exchange orders. There are two item pricing post calculators in /atg/commerce/custsvc/pricing/calculators:
ExchangePromotionEvaluationUpdateCalculator– This calculator executes the process that updates the Promotion Evaluation Order. This process copies the exchange items into the Promotion Evaluation Order and then re-prices it. This results in exchange item pricing in accordance to other items still owned by the customer and any item promotions that may applyExchangeItemAdjustmentCalculator– This calculator copies pricing information for each exchange item from the Promotion Evaluation Order to the exchange order
There are two order pricing post calculators in /atg/commerce/custsvc/pricing/calculators:
ExchangeOrderAdjustmentCalculator– This calculator applies order promotions to the exchange order that are applied to the Promotion Evaluation Order. The promotion adjustment value is based on the order discount share value applied to the exchange itemsExchangeOrderDiscountCalculator– This calculator applies manual adjustments that are applied to the Promotion Evaluation Order to the exchange order. The manual adjustment value is based on the manual adjustment share value applied to the exchange items
The ReturnManagercontains the following exchange order calculator API. For additional information, refer to the ATG API Reference for Commerce Service Center:
public void calculateExchangeOrderPromotionDiscountValues(ReturnRequest
pReturnRequest) throws ReturnExceptionpublic void calculateExchangeManualAdjustmentDiscountValues(ReturnRequest
pReturnRequest) throws ReturnException
The ReturnManager contains a property to hold the generated GiftWIthPurchaseSelection and two APIs for generating the GiftWithPurchaseSelectionobjects and filtering the objects based on the gift items in the exchange order:
public Map<GWPMultiHashKey,GiftWithPurchaseSelection> getGWPSelections()
{
return mGWPSelections;
}
public void setGWPSelections(Map<GWPMultiHashKey,
GiftWithPurchaseSelection> pGWPSelections)
{
mGWPSelections = pGWPSelections;
}
...
public void generateGWPSelectionsForReturnItems(ReturnRequest
pReturnRequest) throws ReturnException
//this method will be called by the CSRGiftWithPurchaseSelectionDroplet to
produce selection links on the cart page.
public Collection generateFilteredReturnRequestSelections(ReturnRequest
pReturnRequest) throws MarkerException, ReturnException
{
Map requestSelections pReturnRequest.getGWPSelections();
if(requestSelections == null)
{
generateGWPSelectionsForReturnItems(pReturnRequest);
requestSelections = pReturnRequest.getGWPSelections();
}
}The ReturnRequest contains the following exchange order API:
public Map getExchangeOrderPromotionValue()
public void setExchangeOrderPromotionValue(Map
pExchangeOrderPromotionValue)
public Map getExchangeManualAdjustmentValue()
public void setExchangeManualAdjustmentValue(Map
pExchangeManualAdjustmentValue)Tiered Pricing and Exchanges
When you work with exchanges, tiered pricing produces the correct results, but exhibits the following behavior as a result of how the cost of exchange items is determined.
For example, in an order with a quantity of 7 items within the same tier levels, the original item would be priced at 2 at 50, 3 at 40, 2 at 30. In an exchange of 1 for 1, the expected refund would be $30 and the exchange order item would be $30, with a net no charge. However, because of the methodology used in pricing the exchange items in the promotion evaluation order, the exchange order item is priced at 50, and the refund is calculated at $50. This results in the expected net no charge for the 1 item in the exchange order. Additionally, if exchange order quantity increases to 2, the total would be $100 and the refund would be $70, with an expected net change of $30 for the additional item.
