Processing products with and without variants - Commerce server

Make sure that the products without VariantIDs are truly products and not
product families. A product family is not a purchaseable sku so the
QueryCatalogInfo (QCI) pipeline component will remove them (mark them as
deleted).

Check the i_ClassType column in the catalog tables to see. 8 is product
family, 2 is variant, 4 is product. If the product you are trying it add
to the orderform has ClassType=8, that won't work.

cscCategoryClass = 1,
cscProductVariantClass = 2,
cscProductClass = 4,
cscProductFamilyClass = 8,
cscProductFamilyForVariantsClass = 16,
cscProductVariantsForFamily = 32

Hi,

In my catalog, some products have variants where as some products don't
have.

While adding the products with the variant to my cart I am
associating the ProductVariantID properties to the lineitem object i.e.
lineitemobject.ProductVariantID = "Value"

If the product does not have any variant then I skipp this
assignment.

However after adding these line items I am processing my otherform in
basket pipeline, all the line items for which there are no variantID are
getting removed from the orderform by the pipeline.

Can you please tell me what is going wrong.

Regards,
Jimut.

David,

Thanks a lot. This problem got resolved.

Jimut.
