Party Role in the Oracle Apps r12

We all know that TCA. TCA(Trading Community Architecture) comes for picture in Oracle apps r12. TCA more related to Party and more about Customer Oriented. In TCA , Oracle treats every thing in Oracle application as party , which could be become its potential customer in future. To more clarifying this Statement , I will share the Working Examples as below.

 

For Example I have create the Supplier A in Oracle apps but as per TCA architecture , Oracle will automatically create this Supplier A as an Party because according to TCA , Supplier can also be my Potential Customer in Future. So in Future If I need to sell some goods to this Supplier A , then I can directly create the Customer From this Party A So one Party will become my Supplier and Customer Both but with Different Relation Ship.

 

The same thing apply to employee , customer and my Business unit records too.
