Proper way to make Contract-Order, force 1-1 relationship

I'm looking out for a way to make the relationship between Order and Contract, 1-1, The relationship between both, is optional, but still, I'm unsure if I need to add a custom field to Contract that points to the corresponding order, of if there is a way to declarative restrict the relation, and also allowing for a direct query without the nested sub query in SOQL.



Any Idea?

          Yes, You can do that using standard Salesforce Functionality




          1. Create a Field on Order Named as Contract_Unqiue__c and make it as unique field.

          2. Create a WF rule on Order and when the order is created , copy the ContractID to the field Contract_Unique__c


          Thats it done.



          WHen a new order is created for that contract, it will allow you to save it, and if you try to add another order it throw Unique field constraint exception. Thus this allows you to only have 1-1 Relationship ie 1 contract should have atmost 1 order.
