It does - if the party you request does not exist, you can create it. 
otherwise som 3000 address-records appear.....
And employees usually dont require VAT ID and payment terms, etc. So the 
generic approach generates IMHO some confusion for 'users'.

...it would make sense to flag a party as customer or vendor via this menu 
items. Nevertheless, at the moment it allows creation of parties at that menu. 
IMHO it will create some confusion for the 'user'
