The customer is in the role Customer, and Leslie is in the role Sales
Rep. The party relationship type is optional, typically the party roles
are enough to describe the relationship.
You could create a custom entity for SIC codes, or use the Enumeration
entity.

Does this look like a file that could be imported to produce 2
customers. Both should be assigned to "LESLIE".
I gather from the partyRelationshipName that this is the correct Type
<PartyRelationshipType description="" hasTable="N" parentTypeId=""
partyRelationshipName="Account owned by"
partyRelationshipTypeId="ACCOUNT" roleTypeIdValidFrom=""
roleTypeIdValidTo=""/>
The partyRelationshipTypeId="ACCOUNT" could be better.
partyRelationshipTypeId="ACCOUNT_OWNER" would be clearer and more
consistent with
<PartyRelationshipType description="" hasTable="N" parentTypeId=""
partyRelationshipName="Lead Owned by"
partyRelationshipTypeId="LEAD_OWNER" roleTypeIdValidFrom=""
roleTypeIdValidTo=""/>
and
<PartyRelationshipType description="" hasTable="N" parentTypeId=""
partyRelationshipName="Lead Owners/Managers"
partyRelationshipTypeId="LEAD_OWN_GRP_MEMBER" roleTypeIdValidFrom=""
roleTypeIdValidTo=""/>
They have a SIC code and an SIC description assigned to them as
attributes.
Is there are better way to handle this (Table of SIC entities and a
relation to it or does that require code changes)?
