Business partner relationship for different dates

[Former Member]

Hi,

When creating "Employee responsible" relationships with a business partner, I try to do as follows:

BP 60010, Valid from 01.01.0001 to 31.07.2008

BP 60025, Valid from 01.08.2008 to 31.12.2008

BP 60010, Valid from 01.01.2009 to 31.12.9999

When I try to create this last relationship, I get an error message:

"Relationship already exists; further interval not possible"

Reading the description, it seems that I can't have two relationships with the same employee, even in different dates.

Can anybody confirm this, please?

Thanks,

Joã

Hello!

Time-Dependency for this Relationship-Type is not supported in CRM.

If you create this kind of Relationship the Valid-From and Valid-To should be read-only and defaulted with the entries 01.01.0001 and 31.12.9999.

In CRM 7.0 Time-Dependency for the Contact Person Relationship will be supported, but still not for the Employee Relationship (BUR011).

Dear Arno Meyer,

I work with CRM 5.0 and I just wanted to find out how I can set a valid to date within a contact person relationship. Based on your statement is it not possible to edit the fields "valid from" and "valid to" in the contact person relationship in crm 5.0?

If I go to trx buba I have the possibility to edit the time dependency in the contact person relationship. But although I can change it there it will not work in the application, is that correct?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Mirko,

You are correct. You can change time dependency for the relationship in tx. BUBA. However, the system will not make any validations based on that information. I tried that too, and this was the result.

Hi João,

thanks a lot for your help. Again I find an argument why it might make sense to change the CRM release. Actually I am a "little bit" disappointed in CRM 5.0. We also use the PCUI which also causes a lot of trouble sometimes.

Anyway, now I have to find another smart way of declaring a contact person relationsship as "no longer valid".

Best Regards
