Question:

Nigel works as a Salesforce Administrator for Prestige Cars and has been asked to create a relationship between Car Manufacturer and their Models. ‘Manufacturer’ and ‘Model’ are two Custom Objects that already exist in the Org and are used to store the relevant information. A Manufacturer can have many Models however a Model can only have one Car Manufacturer. On which Object should the relationship field be created?

Create the Relationship Field on the Manufacturer Object

Incorrect

Creating the Relationship Field on the Manufacturer Object means that a Manufacturer Record can only have one Model Record

Create a Junction Object to link Manufacturer to Model

Incorrect

A Junction Object is not needed in this requirement. Junction Objects are used for Many-to-Many Relationships.

Create the Relationship Field on the Model Object

Correct

Creating the Relationship Field on the Model Object means that a Manufacturer can have many Model Records

Create a Relationship on each Object

Incorrect

This is a bad idea and will lead to many issues in your Org in the future.

Answer:

Create the Relationship Field on the Model Object

You always create the Relationship Field on the Many of the One-to-Many Relationships. In this case that would be the ‘Model’ Object, this will allow you to relate many Models to one Manufacturer but only one Manufacturer to a Model.
