How to "force" only associations during V11 Constituent Migration

Thanks.

Do you know when the determination of Like to Like is made.  Before or after the accounts with N1 and N2 are broken up.  See my further comments in this thread.

You mentioned:

“The only thing you can do is make sure your current associations won't migrate to one of the unlike type pairs.”

How is this controlled?  I thought that the unlike pairs would become an affiliation and that was out of our control.

Tom -

It's my understanding that you can't force a pair to be only association because the association/affiliation determination is completely dependent on the type of the two accounts it is linking.

The means like type to like type (e.g. individual to individual, corporate/household to corporate/household) will always be an association and unlike type to unlike type (e.g. individual to corporate/household) will be an affiliation. There's no getting around that. The only thing you can do is make sure your current associations won't migrate to one of the unlike type pairs.

Don't take my answer for law, but I *think* that's what I've been told multiple times as I've tried to work through relationships myself.

HTH,

Heather
