262Hi,
I've recently spent some time evaluating Salesforce and now I'm doing some hands-on evaluation of Dynamics CRM. I'm trying to replicate what I did in Salesforce but I have run into some problems regarding intersect/junction entities.
What I'm trying to achieve:
In our business we are working on offshore vessels such as drilling rigs. I would like to be able to relate multiple vessels with multiple opportunities as well as multiple accounts. In Salesforce I created the following custom entities:
- Vessel - custom object/entity containing information about the vessel such as size, weight etc.
- Vessel account - junction object (intersect entity) with a Master-Detail Relationship to Account and a Master-Detail Relationship to the custom Vessel object/entity so I can relate multiple accounts to the vessel such as owner, operator etc.
- Vessel opportunity - junction object (intersect entity) with a Master-Detail Relationship to Opportunity and a Master-Detail Relationship to the custom Vessel object/entity so the vessel can be related to multiple opportunities.
The relations look like this in Salesforce:
Now I'm trying to do exactly the same thing in Dynamics CRM but I can't get the same result. I have create the custom entity Vessel and the two intersect entities Vessel Account and Vessel Opportunity.
On the Vessel Account intersect entity I have created two 1:N relationships - to Account and to Vessel. On the Vessel Opportunity intersect entity I have created to 1:N relationships - to Opportunity and to Vessel.
I can see that the related list are not added automatically. When I open the Form for Vessel I thought I would be able to see the related list for Vessels under 'Common' but I doesn't appear there.
Am I doing anything wrong? Do I need to use another type of relationship or perhaps change the relationship behavior?
BR,
Niels
