OrderItemRole entity

[Wai]

OrderItemRole entity is defined in the database schema but it is not reference in ofbiz code.
Could someone tell me what this entity is used for?
Thanks

It isn't used currently, but I believe it exists to give the application
flexibility if you wanted to associate party roles on a per-item basis,
instead of per-order.
Also look at OrderItemContactMech, supported but never really used in the
application out of the box.  There are quite a few ares where the
application uses a subset of the data model.

you will find a diagram on page 123 of the Data model book vol I. it is
discussed on page 124
roles are usually a way of defining a relationship without yet having
documents(data) to support such relationships.
