Significance of field explodeOrderItems in ProductStore

[Vikas Mayur-2]

While looking at the order process, in method createOrder of
CheckOutEvents.java, I came across the statement
boolean areOrderItemsExploded = explodeOrderItems(delegator, cart);
Can any body please help me to know what is the significance of
explodeOrderItems.

Thanks,

There is a ProductStore setting for exploding order items. When this is set that code will split all order items with a quantity of X into X order items each with a quantity of 1, or that is the intent anyway.

Yes, that is the intent.

In reality, you get all kinds of problems ranging from missing sales taxes to missing inventory
reservation when you use explodeOrderItems ("Y").

I did a partial fix for it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Though we have explodeOrderItems == "N" set for all product stores, I need
to dig more in the methods to find its purpose.
