Hi Markus and Subbu,

Thanks for the quick reply, but the point where I have stuck up is....... for the vendor master if I have to maintain list of ofshore and onsite vendors then

is it that I have to add manually those many vendors under the above mentioned categories (ie offshore and onsite)in Hierarchy Mode. Isn't there any method where in all the vendors belonging to particular country can directly linked to offshore and rest are linked directly to the other?

It would be really very helpful if you can throw some light on that.

Hi Gavin,

Here's a solution.

1. Create a calculated field of type boolean - you can name it On-Site or something similar.

2. Enter the following as the calculation expression

IF(HAS_ANY(COUNTRY_FIELD_NAME, "country 1", "country 2", "country n"), TRUE, FALSE) - where country 1...country n are the countries that are on considered On-Site.

All Vendors from countries you have listed in the expression will have the value TRUE for the field On-Site. All other Vendors will have the value False. This way you can separate the 2 groups of Vendors by searching on the field On-Site.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Hi,

All the repository creation/modifcations are done through the MDM Console.
