Hi,
Systems: SQL Server 2012 BI Edition with Master Data Services (MDS) & Data Quality Services (DQS).
Problem: Currently Products table is managed in Excel only & is not on MDS.
Solution: Create Entity in MDS that has business rules & user interfaces.
Question:
I have created the domain & a few entities:
- Product category
- Product sub category
- Product super category
- Product source control
Product source control entity has 3 domain based attributes that are based on the other entities. (Product / Product Category / Product Super-Category) & it is working fine so far.
I want to force dependency among the categories. Currently, those attributes are independent in MDS; however, the do have foreign key relationship in the SQL Server.
How can I implement column dependency in MDS so when user selects "Cheap Mountain Bikes" in the Product attribute, "Mountain Bikes" & "Bikes" are selected/enforced automatically in Category & Super Categories respectively.
Currently, use is able to select green tea in the product & bikes in the super category.
Thank you.
