> Key: OFBIZ-149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-149 > Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: party

> Change to the party data model to support relationships where parties act in several capacities (roles) and allowing polynary relationships.
> If someone could describe a situation where the direcition of the role matters (partyIdTo/partyIdFrom) and where the roleType is insuficient to understand the direction I will try to come up with a solution. I'm trying to understand if simply better role designations would alleviate ambiguity or if there is a real need to support direction.
