I am not sure if it is necessary but you might need :foreign_key => "manufacturer_id" here. I put it in to remind me what the field is called anyway. >>> belongs_to :distributor, :class_name => "Company" Same here >>> >>> company.rb >>> has_many :items Here you need two associations has_many :manufacturer_items, :class_name => "Item" has_many :distributor_items, :class_name => "Item" where manufacturer_items is a name you can choose yourself. Then for a particular company @company the items are @company.manufacturer_items and @company.distributor_items.
