I'm trying to replicate a M-M relationship from a Database with code first EF6 but had no luck. I have tried some tutorial links and some answers from here but still get the same error.
This is just a few things i have tried out:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/mvc/overview/getting-started/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/creating-an-entity-framework-data-model-for-an-asp-net-mvc-application
http://www.entityframeworktutorial.net/code-first/configure-many-to-many-relationship-in-code-first.aspx
relationship problems in EF code-first
Error: The entity types 'AdjustmentType' and 'AdjustmentReason' cannot share table 'AdjustmentReason' because they are not in the same type hierarchy or do not have a valid one to one foreign key relationship with matching primary keys between them.
Thanks!
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentReason")]
public class AdjustmentType : AuditableEntity
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int AdjustmentTypeId { get; set; }
[Column("AdjustmentType")]
[StringLength(50)]
public string AdjustmentType1 { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonType { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentReason")]
public class AdjustmentReason : AuditableEntity
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int AdjustmentReasonId { get; set; }
[Column("AdjustmentReason")]
[StringLength(50)]
public string AdjustmentReason1 { get; set; }
public bool? Hidden { get; set; }
public ICollection<Transaction> Transactions { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonType { get; set; }
}
public class AdjustmentReasonType : AuditableEntity
{
public int AdjustmentReasonTypeId { get; set; }
public int AdjustmentReasonId { get; set; } //This is required
public int AdjustmentTypeId { get; set; } //This is optional
public virtual AdjustmentType AdjustmentType { get; set; }
public virtual AdjustmentReason AdjustmentReason { get; set; }
}
//DatabaseContext.cs
modelBuilder.Entity<AdjustmentReason>()
.HasMany(e => e.AdjustmentReasonTypes)
.WithRequired(e => e.AdjustmentReason);
modelBuilder.Entity<AdjustmentType>()
.HasMany(e => e.AdjustmentReasonType)
.WithRequired(e => e.AdjustmentType);
//IDatabaseContext.cs
IDbSet<AdjustmentReason> AdjustmentReasons { get; set; }
IDbSet<AdjustmentType> AdjustmentTypes { get; set; }
IDbSet<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonTypes { get; set; }

Found the solution to the error!
Turned out that I named both the AdjustmentReason and AdjustmenType as "Schema.AdjustmentReason"
in the data annotation of the class. I have updated the code in the question area to show the data annotations errors I had in both classes.
Before:
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentReason")]
public class AdjustmentType : AuditableEntity
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentReason")]
public class AdjustmentReason : AuditableEntity
After:
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentType")]
public class AdjustmentType : AuditableEntity
[Serializable]
[Table("schema.AdjustmentReason")]
public class AdjustmentReason : AuditableEntity
This is the link that helped me realized what I had done wrong:

I apologize for not putting the data annotations before, I did not think that it was needed, for that I'm sorry.
Thanks!

A couple of alterations that may help...
public class AdjustmentType : AuditableEntity
{ //Good...
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int AdjustmentTypeId { get; set; }
[Column("AdjustmentType")]
[StringLength(50)]
public string AdjustmentType1 { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonType { get; set; }
}
public class AdjustmentReason : AuditableEntity
{ //Good...
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int AdjustmentReasonId { get; set; }
[Column("AdjustmentReason")]
[StringLength(50)]
public string AdjustmentReason1 { get; set; }
public bool? Hidden { get; set; }
public ICollection<Transaction> Transactions { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonType { get; set; }
}
public class AdjustmentReasonType : AuditableEntity
{ // Remove the FKs...
public int AdjustmentReasonTypeId { get; set; }
//public int AdjustmentReasonId { get; set; } //This is required
//public int AdjustmentTypeId { get; set; } //This is optional
public virtual AdjustmentType AdjustmentType { get; set; }
public virtual AdjustmentReason AdjustmentReason { get; set; }
}
//DatabaseContext.cs
// Add the FK declarations here so that EF knows how to resolve these back to the parent references.
modelBuilder.Entity<AdjustmentReason>()
.HasMany(e => e.AdjustmentReasonTypes)
.WithRequired(e => e.AdjustmentReason)
.Map(e=> e.MapKey("AdjustmentReasonId"); // FK column name.
modelBuilder.Entity<AdjustmentType>()
.HasMany(e => e.AdjustmentReasonType)
.WithRequired(e => e.AdjustmentType)
.Map(e=> e.MapKey("AdjustmentTypeId");
//IDatabaseContext.cs
IDbSet<AdjustmentReason> AdjustmentReasons { get; set; }
IDbSet<AdjustmentType> AdjustmentTypes { get; set; }
// Remove these, typically you would be dealing with Reasons or Types, not the linking table directly. Use the references
//IDbSet<AdjustmentReasonType> AdjustmentReasonTypes { get; set; }
