DefaultItemPriceCy, DefaultItemPrice
Use these components to set the regular price of an item to the list price returned by components such as QueryCatalogInfo or QueryProdInfoADO.
The DefaultItemPrice component is for backward compatibility only. The DefaultItemPriceCy component operates in both Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition compatibility mode and in Commerce Server 2000 mode pipelines. For more information, see Currency Enhancements.

Remarks
The DefaultItemPriceCy and DefaultItemPrice components perform the same actions although on different dictionary keys. The following discussion uses the keys for DefaultItemPriceCy.
To set the regular price to a price other than the list price, replace these components in the pipeline.
For each item in the order form (each item in the items collection), the DefaultItemPriceCy component assigns the _iadjust_regularprice key to the value stored in the _cy_product_list_price key for the item. The regular price is typically set by the QueryCatalogInfo or QueryProdInfoADO components in the Product Info stage.
If the QueryCatalogInfo or QueryProdInfoADO components do not retrieve the list price, the Item dictionary will not contain the _product_list_price key. In this case, you need to add a component (a Scriptor, for example) to retrieve the list prices so that the DefaultItemPrice component can initialize the _iadjust_regularprice key.
Stages that follow the Item Price stage in the pipeline contain components that depend on the _iadjust_regularprice key being set. If this key does not have a value, these components fail. The RequiredItemPrice component ensures that the values exist.
