That would be a supplier.

Thanks Adrian, but I'm a little slow on the uptake.
Here what we want to do. We update our site inventory from a database and we
showcase it on an ecommerce side as inventory. If someone orders it, we
verify availability (most products are one of a kind) with the vendor, order
the item, receive the item and then ship it out to a customer. Thats the
typical flow.
So, do you consider this a supplier (someone who sells goods ) or a vendor?
Thanks again for the help.

Someone who supplies you with goods or services is a supplier.
A vendor is somone who sells goods or services, who may or may not sell
them to you.
Typically, vendor roles are used in "shopping mall" type installations.

Hey All,
can you help me determine the correct role? A regular supplier/vendor
that
sells us merchandise that we then sell on to a retail client would be
considered a supplier or a vendor and is there any good reason why they
are
both there?
I'm a little confused between these two roles. Thanks in advance.
