How You Manage Relationships

You can manage complex real-life relationships among various entities such as employees, employers, contacts, and organizations in the Edit page of the selected entity, such as, Edit Groups, Person or Organization.

You can navigate to this page by searching for the required record from the Groups, Persons or Organizations work area. In Oracle Applications Cloud, a relationship is an entity's role in the context of another entity.

Note: You can only view the relationships for the entity in context, unless you have the manage privilege.

You must define the following for each relationship:

• Relation types, such as employment or subsidiaries.

• Relationship role pairs, such as employee and employer.

• Relationship phrase pairs, such as employee of and employer of

In the Edit page for an entity, you can:

• View all relationships for the entity in context.

• Create relationships for an entity by specifying the relationship role, the related party name, and the relationship start and end dates for each relationship.

• Modify the end date information and any additional information captured using descriptive flexfields for the relationships.

• Delete a relationship to make it inactive.
