Product Discontinuation Validator

Validates that no products in the purchase order have passed their discontinuation date.

Overview

The Product Discontinuation Validator checks that every product on the purchase order is still active. If a product's Discontinued date is set and has passed, the validator adds an error to the affected line item and an aggregate error to the order, preventing the order from being submitted with discontinued products.
