General Setup

Parties

In OFBiz there is the concept of a party. A party can be an individual person or it can be a group (e.g. an organisation). The party manager application allows you to create both individuals and groups. A party is also associated with a role, e.g. SUPPLIER, CUSTOMER or EMPLOYEE. The roles are used to help OFBiz manage how the party will interact with the OFBiz applications. A party can have multiple roles.
