Eric, In OFBiz, a vendor is any party that has a registration in the Vendor entity. See [1] In the accounting component, a vendor is associated with AP (accounts payable). See [2] and [3] In the order and delivery functions, the supplying party is regarded as the vendor.
In other words, in OFBiz the party using OFBiz as its ERP solution (often regarded as an internal company) is regarded as a vendor of products and services it offers to its customers. But also, the partie that offers and delivers products and services to an internal company is regarded as a vendor.
