Symptoms

A replenishment mass item update for items with a deactivate_date set due to a clearance price change nulls out the deactivate_date if the new activate_date is past the deactivate_date.

This allows the replenishment system to generate orders for items that are on clearance (clear_ind in item_loc = 'Y').

Steps to reproduce :

1.Identify 2 items/loc in Repl_item_loc where Clear_ind in item_loc = ‘N’ and deactivate date is null.
2.Create a clearance for this item/loc with start_date as vdate.
3.Verify the deactivate date is populated in Rpm_item_loc and clear_ind for the item/loc in the ITEM_LOC table is updated.
4.Create a skulist for these two items.
5.Navigate to RMS ---Items --> Replenishment --->Replenishment Scheduled update screen.
6.Select all stores and provide the skulist that is created and update with the new activate date.
7.Verify the REPL_ATTR_UPDATE_HEAD table.
8.Run the replenishment batch RPLATUPD
             prepost $UP rplatupd pre
             rplatupd $UP
             prepost $UP rplatupd post
9.Verify that the deactivate column is removed for the item/loc.
10.When the replenishment batches are run the order is created for the clearance item/location which is incorrect.
