how to establish relationship between two ritms

[Nagesh5]

Hello Community,

I have two catalog items one is order mobile and other one is order laptop and my expectation is I want to tag laptop ritm to the mobile ritm parent field once laptop ritm is closed then mobile ritm state should be changed to work in progress for this I just want to utlize the parent field in ritm form is it good practice to utlize the oob parent field any suggestions?

Note: we are looking for the solution without using order guides.

Thanks,.

Hello @Nagesh5 

As per OOB functionality if the child is open then you should not able to close the parent, and this is the only best practice, you can create a new field Associated RITM where you can give the reference of the another RITM and then write a BR to achieve your functionality.

Hello @Nagesh5 ,

Because parent field's behavior is if the child record is open then you can't able to close the parent record.
