Relationship Tables

[Former Member]

Dear MDM Gurus,

What is the use of the relationships table.

What is a scenario for using it ?

Thanks.

Hi Hari,

One possible use would be to track products that have been replaced. If product '123' is no longer available and customers should order product '456' instead. You can use a sibling relationship to link the two products. When a customer views product '123' in your catalog, you will be able to tell him/her that '456' is the replacement.

Another possible use would be to track kit components. The kit would be a product, and each component would be a product.

Hope this helps.

Hi Hari,

The relationship can be defined in the console and each record can be assigned to the relation ship. You can have the Parent/Child or sibbling relationship.

It is basically one more way of classifiyng the data.

Check the console reference Guide for more detailed explanation.

Regards,
