I'd say it depends on the organization and what they want to do with  
their suppliers. For creating purchase orders and such the  
information in SupplierProduct is all that really matters, though it  
certainly implies a relationship. There are various more "formal"  
relationships that could be created between a company and its  
suppliers but I don't know that any functionality depends on such  
things at this point.
