Re: [mv] [mv4.04] Could a discounting problem be caused by a domain switch? (follow up information)

An add on bit of information to the below message: I found the related
session file for a visitor who was overcharged. One variable contained
the correct total:

 'latest_total' => '431.87',

but  'order_text', which contains a record of the order, contained the
total with no discount applied,  $622.39.

  If the the order is not placed based on the 'latest_total', what total
is it based on? 

   Thanks,
