Organization Model : Adding new relationships

Question

Hi friends,
<b> Organization Model : Adding new  relationships to the existing list while assigning agents to a position </b>
Using transaction PPOMW, after creating an organization unit we assign a position to it.
When we right click the Position and select assign from the context menu, a dialog box appears where we have to choose relationships.
Can we create and add new relationships to this list. say for e.g. Position: holder Site
Please help.

Answer 1

Jon,
This is definitely possible. I had a similar reqt where a new relationship Position: Holder Location was required.
Here's how to go about it.
1. We have to maintain the required entry in the table T77AR
This can be done through Transaction Code: SM30 or OOVK
Enter the table name T77AR and click Maintain button
2. Select Relationship 008: Holder from the table
Double Click on Relationship Characteristics from the frame on the Left Hand side. Here two entries are maintained.
The details of each of the above columns are given below.
A/B: Contains a code that represents a particular type of a relationship. there are two types, active(A) and passive(B) (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 assumed 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.                            
Relationship: Contains a code that represents the relationship between two objects.
100% Check: You can specify in this field whether the 100% limit should be checked when percentages are entered for weighted relationships (infotype 1001).
The value entered in this field will determine the type of message that is issued if the 100% limit is exceeded when a relationship is created. 
You can choose between the following values:                     
'E' = error                                                      
'I' = information                                                
'W' = warning                                                    
' ' = no check is carried out
Check Work Schedule: You can use this field to control how the system is to treat relationships to persons in connection with the infotype "Work Schedule" (1011).                             
Check obsolete: This field controls the system reaction when relationships are entered or changed in connection with the infotype "Obsolete - 1014".
3. Now double click on the Allowed Relationships button from the frame on the left hand side.
Here we maintain a new entry ‘Site’.
Object: S
Object type text: Position
A/B: A
Rel: 008
Relationship Name: Holder
RelObjType: F (Site)
4. This entry now appears in the dialog box
