Hello together,

I have a question about the competitors. On the customer mask there is the function "parent account".  Is there the possibility to set such information for the competitor mask, too?

Thanks and regards Kathrin

Hi Kathrin,

What will be the business use case here?. Say we map Competitor A as parent of Competitor B, since usage of competitor is mainly to compare our products during promotions or any retail activity.

Hi Bejoy,

the idea is, that the users have the same function for competitors like accounts. They can set a competitor hierarchy and map different competitors.

Hello Kathrin,

So if we have a competitor hierarchy and have the competitor org structure, where it will be used?. Could you be more specific like which area the use case will be like Campaigning,Servicing. Because if the use case is to have a parent- child relation then this can as well be achieved using a custom field.

Hello Bejoy,

it will be only used in the competitor view. If you click on the "Parent" competitor, then you should see the organization structure (like in the customer view).

Example:

"Parent Competitor"

     - Child 1 (with all the contact data and Website...)

     - Child 2 (...)

     - ...

Hi Kathrin,

But then having a competitor Org structure inside a Customer Solution will be violation of Customer policies, moreover the competitor org information will be an internal information. Not sure how far we can use this

Hi Bejoy,

sorry, but I don`t know what you want to tell me exactly.

Is our required use case not possible?

Hello Kathrin,

I was analyzing the feasibility of this use-case, since you have added this in idea portal definitely this can be evaluated.

Hello Kathrin,

Had there been a functionality wherein we could map Competitor A with Competitor B in that case we might be able to map them, but as of now we only have option of creating new competitor setting status and add/edit products
