Hi,

This split was the result of a lot of user requests.

The enterprise term is not the good one. 
The dropdown stores the manufacturers and in the management section 
contains the suppliers.

All manufacturers are not suppliers.
All suppliers are not manufacturers.
So, this is not the same information.
The problem was in the versions <= 0.68 which wrongly merged these 2 
elements.

Regards

Julien
