Remarks
The SaleAdjust component allows you to apply the sale price of an item. If the item is on sale, and if its _iadjust_currentprice key has not been initialized by a component that was previous run, the SaleAdjust component initializes _iadjust_currentprice key to the value stored in item._product_sale_price key.
The SaleAdjust component determines if an item is on sale by comparing the current date to the date values specified for the_product_sale_startkey and the _product_sale_end key of the item.
The SaleAdjust component requires that the various sale values exist in the product table of the site database. Otherwise, the OrderForm object will not contain the data needed to calculate the adjusted price of the item (_iadjust_currentprice), and an error message will be generated. The product sale keys are set by the QueryProdInfoADO component in the Product Information stage.
Because the _product_sale_start and _product_sale_end keys are actually date-time pairs that specify midnight, the _product_sale_end key excludes the date specified. Thus, if you want the last day of a promotion to be 3/31, be sure to specify that the promotion ends on 4/1.
