BJ,
Sometimes it matters who manufactures a product. We keep track of that here. Suppliers can carry
more than one manfacturer. Purchasing decisions can be based on manufacturer.
If you do a search of the mailing lists, you'll find where I've given example
scenarios in the past.

how someone has product to sell you is not important, as they can sell
it to you.
unless I am missing something.

Hi,
How do you create a party as a manufacturer, if you wanted to associate this
manufacturer party with the MANUFACTURER_PARTY_ID column of the PRODUCT
table?
I looked at PARTY_ROLE, ROLE_TYPE, PARTY_TYPE tables - couldnt find a role
or a type which is either manufacturer or OEM. What am I missing?
