Establishing proper object relationships in IDF ensures seamless navigation and accurate data retrieval. Here are key relationship types:

📌 1-to-Many (Parent-Child) – Example: A Customer can have multiple Orders.
📌 Many-to-One (Lookup) – Example: An Order Line is linked to an Item Master.
📌 Code File Relationships – Ensure dropdown lists work properly.

A well-structured relationship model allows: Read more...

Streamline Object Creation in IDF 🛠
Working with Infor Development Framework (IDF)? Efficient object creation is key to success! Whether you're setting up a Customer Master, Order Header, or any custom object, following a structured approach ensures data consistency and seamless integration.

Here’s a six-step blueprint to create new objects the right way:

✅ Define the Object – Give it a clear name and purpose. Example: If you're creating a Product  Read more...Master, ensure the object name is intuitive and follows naming conventions.

✅ Define Attributes – Identify key fields (e.g., Item Number, Description, Unit of Measure) and ensure attributes are formatted correctly. Consider Logical Attributes for calculated fields instead of storing redundant data.

✅ Establish Relationships – Link objects logically. Example: A Customer Master object should have a 1-to-Many relationship with Order Headers.

✅ Set Up the UI – Design views and cards for easy access. Prioritize user experience by organizing fields logically, using tabs, column breaks, and tooltips for better usability.

✅ Define Actions – Automate repetitive tasks. Example: Set up an Order Lookup action that directly pulls related order lines from the Order Header object.

✅ Generate Server Code – Save, commit, and deploy! Regularly test your object in a staging environment before going live to prevent errors.

🔹 Pro Tip: Always use consistent naming conventions for attributes and relationships. A well-structured object makes data retrieval, reporting, and maintenance much easier.

Skipping steps can lead to data inconsistencies, missing relationships, and a poor user experience. Take the time to set up objects correctly, and you’ll save hours of troubleshooting later!
