• Go to the Party Manager
  The Party Manager is designed to administer information about Parties, including their identity, their roles, how to contact them, etc. Each party is given a specific Party ID which represents them as they interact within OfBiz. Groups of parties are recognized and assigned a Group ID.
  • What is a 'Party'?
    A 'Party' in Open For Business is a person or a group of parties, which can be persons or other party groups. Sometimes a party is described as a vendor, an employee, et cetera, but these are just 'roles' that a party may be associated with.
    • Roles and Contact Mechanisms
      One type of related data is Contact Mechanisms such as postal addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, internet URLs. Another is Roles that the Party acts in such as Customer, Supplier, Employee, Manager, Merchandiser, etc. Generally a single party will interact with different parts of the system in many different roles.
    • Communications and Agreements
      Another type of data that fits into the Party category is information about communication and agreements between Parties. This gets into the area of relationship management and also includes information about issues or trouble tickets that a Party may have. These entities are used along with the Work Effort entities to plan and track the research and resolution of such issues.
