Relationship Question

I'm trying to create a relationship between Service Activity and Product...it
doesn't appear possible. When I go to the Product Entity and then to
Relationships, I click New One to Many. It gives me as my only Entity
options two new Entities that I created for purposes of practicing. What I
was hoping to see was the whole list...in particularly Service Activity.

I can't remember how, but one time I was able to see a more complete list of
Entities to choose from when creating relationships, but most of the time I
only get the two entities I created while practicing.

Do I have options or am I oging to be forced to Convert the the Service
Issue to an Opportunity or Quote or Order before I can select product?

Hi Yakyuu,
Actually you cannot create new relationships between two system entities
which is your case. You can only create relationship with custom entity. So
you cannot have a direct relationship btw service activity and product.
The possiblity is to define a cusotm entity and than relat both system
enitities with this custome entity to achive your functionality. This will
requir more clicks for end user.

You may contact me directly at my email address if you need any help on this.

Steve,

You cannot create new relationships between two system entities. That's the
reason why you only see your custom entities when creating a relationship
from inside a system entity. If you open one of your custom entities and
create a new relationship there, you will see much more options.
