Goal

Scenario:

Consider a scenario where customer have followed the below deployment process steps:

1) Metadata
2) Configs
3) Pricing files are loaded in the order of genricselctors, uscselectors, chargerateplans, chargeselectors, chargeoffers and alterationoffers. Each pricing object is packaged into its respective .xmls.

When modifying existing OfferProfiles, like adding new resources to the profile, they observed validation issues, even during the loading of any ChargeRatePlans referenced in the ChargeOffer with that particular profile.

For example, ChargeOffer 'CO-1' with a offerprofile 'OP-1' and ChargeRatePlans 'CR-1' & 'CR-2'

Initially, the offerprofile had 1 resource configured and the impact for the same resource is configured in the CR-2. Since the impact for the resources in available in one of the chargerateplan there wont be any validation issue at this stage.

Due to new requirement offerprofile 'OP-1' is updated with a new resource and the impacts for that resource is updated in 'CR-2', but when the 'CR-1' chargerateplan is loaded prior to 'CR-2' there would be a validation issue.

Actual Result:

After modification of existing offerprofile, there are validation issues during the loading of chargerateplans.

Expected Result:

PDC should allow modification of existing offer profile without any validation issue during the loading of chargerateplans.

Steps Followed:

  1: Create a offerprofile with a resource id
  2: Create a chargeoffer with reference to that offerprofile
  3: Add a new resource to that offerprofile
  4: Load any chargerateplan referenced in the above chargeoffer

How to achieve the above expected requirement?
