Well (at least in my case) supplier and manufacturers are 2 different entities.
Supplier (besides some of the other things) is used to purchase the products from and hence generating the PO etc etc. Manufacturer on the other hand is used in the website to identify/search/categorize products as well as to distinguish within the group of similar products which mfg products are selling more etc. I dont necessarily need contact mechanism etc for the manufacturer but I do need products to be tagged by certain manufacturers.
