This seems like an easy enough question to answer, is there any way in AX to relate a contact to multiple customers/vendors? It seems like a contact is tightly coupled to whatever other dirparty specified during its creation, which seems an odd design choice because it forces duplicate data.
How does one normally handle the scenario:
Customer 1 Chain A
Customer 2 Chain A
Contact 1 is Contact for Chain A, so in theory should be connected to both Customer 1 and 2.
Currently the user is forced to either:
Make 2 Contacts, connect them to each respective customer.
Make 2 Logisticslocation 'Quick Contacts', one for each respective customer. This is even worse since it isn't even a real contact record at this point, just an email/phone/fax attached to a customer/vendor.
Surely there is a better way to handle this I haven't thought of?
