Am unable to delink a party (linked party)?
Linkage with the parent party cannot be removed/ deleted if there is an active Party Account Access linkage or User Account Access maintained.
User will need to delete the party account and user account access linkage for the linked party and then proceed with deletion of party to party linkage.
Can a linked party have more than one parent party?
No. A party cannot be linked to more than one parent party i.e. if a party has been linked to a parent party then that party cannot be linked to another party.
Can there be multiple associations between the parent and the linked party?
No. The parent party cannot be linked to the linked party with linked party as the parent. For e.g. if there is a linkage already maintained with P1 (parent party) to P2 (child party) then system will not allow another linkage of P1 and P2 with P2 as parent and P1 as child party.
Can the parent party be a linked party to another party?
Yes, the parent party to a linked party can exist as a linked party to another parent party.
Have created a linkage between the parent party and linked party but it is not reflecting in the system even after a successful maintenance save message?
There is a possibility that the maintenance is saved but the status is ‘Pending Approval’. For the maintenance, if there is an approval required then the changes will reflect only once the approver(s) approve the submitted request. If the setup does not require an approval workflow or is self / auto approved, then the linkage will be effected for the party immediately.
