In the Cart class we define our own scheme of calculating SubTotal field=
.
That's OK for showing it in the ShoppingCart, but when we use  =

SaveAsOrder(), then
original field is saved.
All instances of this field is read-only and the class Basket is sealed =
in  =

the assembly.

How can we save our own SubTotal field to the order?

We use CS2002+FP1+SP3+Starter site

Hello Ripos,

When you execute a SaveAsOrder the returning value is a PurchaseOrder object
.
That is where you should be pulling values from after executing that method.
You can access all of the fields at the Order Group or Order Form level
through that object.  The PurchaseOrder object is essentially a dictionary
object so all fields, like in the basket and order form objects, are accessi
ble
with keys (e.g. Receipt["saved_cy_total_total"])

If you want to persist your own fields in the database outside of the marsha
led
data contents you need to create a column in the table with the same key
name.   For example we have added several fields to the database:

saved_cy_oadjust_subtotal
saved_cy_orderlevel_discounts_subtotal
saved_cy_shipping_total
etc..

Hope that helps.
Colin

Hi Ripos,

The SubTotal is calculated in the "Basket" pipeline through a component. You
should replace it with one that calcualtes the subtotal the way you want it.
You would need to write this component.

Ok. This is a good solution. But can you help me with understanding of  =

mapping
dictionary keys to the columns of DB.
Consists resulting Order object of OrderGroup's columns only?

Some of columns (such as 'saved_cc_number') are found at OrderFormHeader=
.  =

How can
I wrote to those fields?
If some fields are in OrderLineItems table, have I to write to Dictionar=
y  =

of a
LineItem object?

PS. your answer was Very helpful. Thank you.
