I can see your point that parties aren't top of mind for a business owner. You enter them the first time you do business with them. For repeat orders, you just call up the party and add to an order. By the same token, you define a product once and call it up for an order. Accounting, products, even parties, are means to the end of earning a buck. The earning is what happens repeatedly, and that's what's important to a business owner. So I suggest order, not product. In a demo, products and parties will already exist, and should not be the first thing to consider. The sequence in which you have to prepare things in OFBiz is not in order of importance or relevance. Just because it's necessary to prepare accounting, products, shippers doesn't mean they are of most interest to a business owner.
