CalculatePrice Plugin

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have created a plugin which replaces the CalcualtePrice Out-of-the-box pricing engine.

It functions wonderfully, I have set it to retrieve the price list from the parent record and then check against discounts for the quantity.

However there is one last thing which the plugin cant seem to do - update the Line item's volumediscountamount field.

this is a snippet of the code:

lineItemUpdate["volumediscountamount"] = new Money(volumeDiscount);
lineItemUpdate["new_discountedpriceperunit"] = new Money(discountedPPU);
lineItemUpdate["baseamount"] = new Money(baseAmount);
lineItemUpdate["extendedamount"] = new Money(extendedAmount);
service.Update(lineItemUpdate);

All other fields update properly, however the volumediscountamount field stays at zero.

I have checked audit and the field is not being set by the plugin.

    I cannot see where the SDK does suggest read only for this field. therefore I cannot mark this as an answer - only a best guess.

    Edit: After looking thoroughly through the SDK, there are multiple references as to where the field can (and should) be used to apply the volume discount. however you are correct that it states it is read only property.

    I think the only way around this "feature" is to create a custom field.

    Thanks Antc.

    Could you please link me to the SDK regarding this field? I am going to create another field to populate this data into as you suggested.

    I think that you would have to try to work around it in the plugin code and update one of the other fields to mimic a volume discount as the SDK suggests read only.

    Thanks antc.

    Any ideas how to overcome this limitation of the read-only setting within this context?

    e.g. what should I do to set this field?

    I think that it's read only in this context where as I think discountamount is updateable.
