Basically it means that the from party is not in the role that
you've specified.
The original idea with party roles in OFBiz was to not
accidentally add parties to roles when a party in a role is
referred to somewhere.
I've thought a few times that maybe it's not the best idea to do
so, and instead whenever a party is implied to be in a role if
they are not already then they should be added automatically.
If we did that (which I'm in favor of), what purpose would the
PartyRole entity continue to serve?
That's a good question. It would still keep track of which party is
in which role... but really that information shouldn't be used
alone, ie it should only be used in the context of defining a
party's relationship with something else.
That's exactly my concern, I often worry that developers misunderstand
the purpose of the PartyRole entity and that its existence may cause
more harm than good.
Regards
Scott
