Nested Reference in Page Configuration

My company is currently in the process of migrating from IFSAPP10 to IFS Cloud. 

 

One configuration we have for our end-users is the addition of the Customer Order Lines page as a tab underneath Sales Part:

 

We prefer not to customize the solution as much as possible and leverage the mechanisms that are afforded to us from within the application itself.

 

I was able to add the CustomerOrderLine as entity association, but I’m finding issue with trying to recreate the linked columns like Customer or Site.

Trying to add another entity association between CustomerOrderLine and CustomerInfo within the SalesPartHandling projection creates a “one-to-many-to-many” relationship which I am able to expose through a nested list component, but ultimately leads me to believe that I am approaching this the wrong way.

 

Has anyone had any luck with this kind of configuration?

Have you considered creating reference type custom fields against the customer order line entity? That will allow you to recreate those linked columns and make them drillable as they are on the customer order lines form. Thats the only way I can think of to achieve that without doing a customization. The rowkey will need to be active on the customer order line entity to achieve this.

I haven’t tried it for this type of implementation personally (something similar, but not quite this), so can’t guarantee this would work but its worth a shot

​@rpowell This may be a good candidate for letting the users justify the continued need for the configuration. The person that originally requested it may no longer be with the company.

Additionally, before you try my earlier suggestion I gave it a quick test and doesn’t appear possible, at least not in the version of IFS cloud I’m using (24R1) =(. Seems to be a limitation that child entities added via page configuration don’t expose custom fields in page configuration. Odd limitation, considering it is still using the custom field view on the page . . .

 

Not seeing how this would be possible to make those fields linkable without at the very least doing a projection modification via the developer studio. Hopefully someone else might have a clever solution to this, but I’m otherwise stumped sorry
