Issue

  • Steps to reproduce:
    1. Start Liferay DXP 7.4.
    2. Create a site by using a minium site template.
    3. Create an option with the name "City".
    4. Create a specification with the name "segment".
    5. Navigate to localhost:8080/o/api.
    6. Select the http://localhost:8080/o/api?endpoint=http://localhost:8080/o/headless-commerce-admin-catalog/v1.0/openapi.json
    7. POST/create a product (Request is attached). Note: Change the catalogid and optionid according to the environment.
    8. Product is created successfully with the provided SKU.
    9. Again, created the same product, and now changed the SKUs, price & cost values.
    Expected Result: At the second time, the prices of the product must be changed.
    Actual Result: It returns an invalid SKU while executing the request.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • To update the SKU of a product, we must first define the 'ERC' so that the request knows which product needs to be updated.
