Definition

Contains a code that represents a particular type of a relationship. In Planning, there are two types, active and passive (reciprocal).

The two types exist since most relationships have two corresponding sides, or perspectives. For example, consider the relationship between a father and son. There is only one relationship, but there are two distinct perspectives to that relationship.

NOTE: Active and passive should not be construed to mean superior and subordinate. Sometimes one side of a relationship does have a superior standing. However, it is also possible that both sides of a relationship have equal, and corresponding, standing. It is also possible that some relationships will be one-sided. This occurs when, for example, you create relationships with external objects.

Use

In create mode, use this field to identify the type of relationship you are creating. To do so either:

  • Enter the appropriate code, A for active or B for passive
  • Request a list of relationship types and make a selection

NOTE: The selection made here determines the relationships you may select from in the next field.

In change mode, select a different type of relationship by:

  1. Deleting the data in the field
  2. Entering a different type of relationship using the methods outlined above

Use

When creating an attendee, the relationship between this and the current company is set up, if the field "Create" is marked in table T77R3 for the respective company type. If no relationship is set, a corresponding message is output when creating the attendee. This means that when reading this attendee later, it can no longer be determined which company he/she belongs to.

The relationship must be specified completely (occurence and relationship identifier).

This field contains the proficiency.
