Scenario

Suppose that Rob is the sales manager of the Contoso Corporation. He has a requirement to create a separate module in CRM to manage vendor and product details. He needs to add Bathroom Products as a type of product, and then fill in the products underneath it.

Next, Rob needs these products to be available from the particular vendor that is going to supply them.
