Party Error When Adding Customer / Vendor

[CompleteCoders]

Not sure what the party table is meant to do. I am getting an error when creating a new vendor because party is null in the following code. I would have tried to fix it but I don't understand how the Party table is used in the system.

        if (model.Id != 0)
        {
            vendor = _purchasingService.GetVendorById(model.Id.Value);
        }
        else
        {
            vendor = new Vendor();
        }

        vendor.Party.Name = model.VendorName;

Hi,
Apology for late reply. The Party entity is a common object for Customer,
Vendor and Contact. Initially, It was designed as abstract class and
Customer, Vendor, and Contact derived from it. (i.e. Customer: Party,
Vendor : Party, Contact : Party).

However, the latest EF7 seems like have an issue mapping to it so we've put
this as a Navigation property.

So you need to initialize the Party when you create a new instance of the
Vendor.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Marvs

    vendor.Party.Name = model.VendorName;

Thanks. I haven't worked in open source ever before. Is this something I should fix and request a pull for? As far as I can see the add customer and add vendor is completely broken at the moment.

No worries. I assume you have forked the project. Feel free to send a pull request.
