== Supply Chain Transactional Roles (C): A Paired Perspective ==

In any supply chain transaction within an ERP system, roles exist as corresponding pairs. These pairs represent the two fundamental sides of every exchange: the '''buying party''' and the '''selling party'''. A ''"Party"'' in this context refers to a specific entity, which can be a legal company or an individual (e.g., in an e-commerce transaction).

Understanding these direct counterparts is key to mastering the data flow for orders, shipments, and invoices.

=== Core Transactional Pairs ===

The following table outlines the primary roles using a consistent, parallel naming convention. The description explains how these roles map to standard ERP and industry terminology.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Buyer's Role
! Seller's Role
! Description of the Interaction
|-
| '''Sold-To-Party'''
| '''Sold-By-Party'''
| The '''Sold-To-Party''' is the customer entity placing the order. The '''Sold-By-Party''' is the selling entity, known in most systems as the '''Vendor''' or '''Supplier'''. This pair forms the primary legal contract.
|-
| '''Ship-To-Location'''
| '''Ship-From-Location'''
| The '''Ship-From-Location''' is the physical place where the shipment originates (e.g., a warehouse or factory), often called a '''Shipping Point'''. The '''Ship-To-Location''' is the destination where the goods are delivered.
|-
| '''Bill-To-Party'''
| '''Bill-From-Party'''
| The '''Bill-To-Party''' is the entity that receives the invoice. The '''Bill-From-Party''' is the entity issuing the invoice (the '''Supplier'''). The invoice must specify the '''Remit-To''' details, which are the instructions for where to send payment.
|}

|-
| '''Payer'''
| '''Payee'''

|-
| '''Accounts Payable (AP)'''
| '''Accounts Receivable (AR)'''
