If I use AllowOverridePrices = true on a Cart OrderLine is the line OrderLineType then automatically and immutable OrderLineType.Fixed?

If so how can I distinguish between a product and a discount?

What other effect has the use of AllowOverridePrices?

Hi Konstant

Setting AllowOverridePrices to true will not have any effect on the OrderLine.Type property. The only thing AllowOverridePrices does is: if set to true, you get the internal PriceInfo object back when accessing the Price property of the OrderLine.

If you experience that the Type of the OrderLine changes then I can only imagine that you use the SetUnitPrice methods. These will automatically set the OrderLine.Type to Fixed. Please note that AllowOverridePrices is not compatible with unit prices since AllowOverridePrices allows you to completely control the PriceInfo price of the OrderLine, that is the total price (including quantity) of the OrderLine.

Hope this clears up some confusion :)

Hi Jeppe,

My ERP returns prices and amounts for VAT and discounts.
I would like to put everything into one orderline.
I do this with my orderline:
x.AllowOverridePrices = true;
 
x.Quantity = line.QuantitySpecified ? line.Quantity.ToDouble() : default(double);
var vatPerc = line.VATpercentageSpecified ? line.VATpercentage.ToDouble() : default(double);
x.SetUnitPrice(new PriceInfo
{
    Currency = Context.Currency,
    PriceWithVAT = line.UnitPriceInclVATSpecified ? line.UnitPriceInclVAT.ToDouble() : default(double),
    PriceWithoutVAT = line.UnitPriceExclVATSpecified ? line.UnitPriceExclVAT.ToDouble() : default(double),
    VAT = line.UnitVATSpecified ? line.UnitVAT.ToDouble() : default(double),
    VATPercent = vatPerc
});
 
x.Price.PriceWithVAT = line.LinePriceInclVATSpecified ? line.LinePriceInclVAT.ToDouble() : default(double);
x.Price.PriceWithoutVAT = line.LinePriceExclVATSpecified ? line.LinePriceExclVAT.ToDouble() : default(double);
x.Price.VAT = line.LineVATSpecified ? line.LineVAT.ToDouble() : 0D;

and after that  I add similar lines for line-discounts and at the end one for the order-discount.

Is there another way to achieve this?

Thx,
Konstant

Your call to SetUnitPrice is the one that changes your Type to Fixed. I don't see this as a problem for the product OrderLine but it could be for the Discount line. To fix this for the Discount do this after your call to SetUnitPrice:

x.Type = ((int)OrderLine.OrderLineType.Discount).ToString();
This will set the Type of the Discount line correctly.
