The Party Relationship Module introduces or extends the following concepts:

Relation Type

The Relation Types qualify the relation between two Parties. An other Relation Type can be set to automatically create the Reverse Relation.

Note

The same Relation Type can be set as the reverse relation.

The Usages property can be set to limit the types when calculating the distance between parties.

The Relation Types can be found by opening the main menu item:

Parties ‣ Configuration ‣ Relation Types

Party

When the Party Relationship Module is activated, the Party gains a new property to store the relations with other parties. The relations can be active only for a period of dates.

The calculation of the Distance property is extended to count the number of relations separating the party from the contextual related_party key.

Note

The Relation Types taking into account to compute the distance can be limited with the contextual relation_usages key.
