FIX: An Attempt to Remove the Buy Anything Option from a Discount Campaign is Unsuccessful and the Option Remains Enabled in BizDesk (824577)

SYMPTOMS

If you try to use Commerce Server Business Desk (BizDesk) to remove the Buy Anything option from a Discount Campaign that was originally created with the Buy Anything option selected, the campaign reverts to Buy Anything. As a result, the user cannot modify Buy Anything discount campaigns to a buy a specific quantity or value campaign.

Different discounts have different values in the campaign tables:

A campaign that has a Buy Anything discount exists in the Order_Discount_Misc table and has an i_disc_cond_type value of 3.
A campaign that has a Buy a specific quantity or value discount exists in the Order_Discount_Misc table and has an i_disc_cond_type value of 0.

If you try to remove the Buy Anything option from the discount campaign and save the campaign, when you refresh BizDesk, the campaign reverts to the Buy Anything.

Apparently, when you remove the Buy Anything option from a Buy Anything discount campaign, you must also change the i_disc_cond_type field for the campaign to 0.

Note A BizDesk solution for Discitem.asp has been included with Service Pack 2. The service pack installation creates a separate folder for the BizDesk fixes, and including this fix. If no custom code modifications have been made to BizDesk, you can use this file to replace the current BizDesk site code module.

The Service Pack implements changes to the following code:

Sub OnClickNoRequirement():

' ebizse 

                                                 '		i_disc_cond_amt.value = 2
                                                 
' ebizse 
                                                 
i_disc_cond_basis.value = 1
                                                 
saveform.i_disc_cond_type.value = 1

Sub OnClickFreeShipping():
