Guido,
Well, thanks for YOUR info below. :) Saves me the digging.
I figure out stuff like that by diving into the source codes. But unless someone asks a specific
question, like "if billing address and shipping address not specified, will main address be
used?", I can't dive into the source codes to find answers for every question in the universe.
So, yes, some documentation would help my clients see that OFBiz isn't as
half-baked as it looks.

found difficult to translate some terms, because they are ambiguous if
translated literally.
It would be a great help if someone could write documentation with a
description of each role, when it is used and in which applications it is
used. Now I have to search in code, if the role is relevant in some
application. When I first started using OFBiz I created parties and later
had to come back and assign a role that I missed when first created them.
Something similar happened to me with contact purposes. I first assumed
that "main address" was used always, when "billing address" or "shipping
destination address" is not specified. Later I had to assign "billing
address" and "Shipping destination" for every party address.
I mean that it was not clear to me where this roles are relevant and which
applications uses them (the same for Telephones).
I could not find this kind of documentation, and would be very useful for
newbies.

It could be both. It depends on how you want to organize your data.
Example: we build and sell homes through a dealer network. So, our dealer
is the
customer, and the homeowner is the consumer.
The demo data is there to demonstrate how to use OFBiz. It's pretty
generic. The
actual data you use depends entirely upon your needs.
