Set up the store with No Inventory still runs inventory checks
Problem(Abstract)
You have no-inventory (-3) set up for a B2Bstore and you have an order-level promotion enabled. You notice during the order process, the system is checking for inventory even though you have no-inventory set up. As a result, the free line item is removed from the cart during OrderPrepare.
Cause Although the no inventory option has been used, the store checks for inventory for the free items due to a code defect. Diagnosing the problem The following scenario reproduces the problem:

  1. Set up your store to use "No inventory".

  2. Create a promotion with free gift items.

  3. Create an order in the storefront that uses the promotion created in step 2. During order prepare, the free item will be removed from the cart.

Resolving the problem This problem (APAR JR28278) is resolved in Fix Pack 5 (6.0.0.5) or newer for IBM WebSphere Commerce 6.0. You can obtain Fix Pack 5 (6.0.0.5) or newer from the WebSphere Commerce Fixes by version page.
