ofBiz Party Application User Documentation

The Party Application is a repository of data about all companies, organizations, and people.  It starts by everything gets a PartyID. Does not mater if it is a company, group, or person.  You see every PartyID could have multiple addresses or telephone numbers associated with it.  They could be Ship To / Bill To / Mail To / Home Phone / Cell Phone.  Instead of trying to cram all this data into one table why not create multiple tables of information.  One for addresses and another for telephone numbers and then link them to the PartyID.  This way you can have as many phone numbers or addresses as the company or person would like to give you.  So the first step in configureing ofBiz is to setup the Party Application.
