We could perhaps make the supplier mandatory for purchase orders, but even that could be cumbersome.
For sales orders we definitely want to support starting and order without knowing who the customer is. Consider the typical order via phone where the customer asks about products, requests various, and then the CSR gets their information. If the CSR always had to get the customer info up front it could be rather awkward and reduce sales conversion.
