Question about Menu Titles - ie Manufacturers >> Suppliers

[SimonJae]

I know VM is broadly developed in Europe and has many European traits... though I wonder about the titles on some of the menu items. They cause concern for some of my clients

Typically >> Manufacturers
Is it not more common/accepted these days, that we are dealing with SUPPLIERS ??!!

Does anyone else have an opinion on these? Please copy and over write with your suggestions

Here is my list of suggested menu titles:

PRODUCTS
  Product Categories
  Products
  Custom Fields
  Inventory
  Business Rules
  Reviews & Ratings

ORDERS & SHOPPERS
  Orders
  Revenue Report
  Shoppers
  Shopper Groups
  Coupons

SUPPLIERS
  Suppliers
  Supplier Categories

SHOP

Thanks for the input HUTSON ...

"Business Rules" is a common term here regarding the application of the framework a business must work under - ie Taxs

Also... just a thought... WHY are CATEGORIES not consistent -> Products > Product Categories  (as per Shoppers and Suppliers) ??

So...

Here is my list of suggested menu titles:

Hi simon

I wonder if

SHOP
  Shop

Would be better labelled

SHOP
  Shop details

I always get confused as to the difference between Shop and Configuration
maybe this helps

Hi Simon

As a retailer, I consider myself to be a Supplier.
My personal choice would be to change Manufacturer to Brand, as I don't really want my customers to have the Manufacturer's details...
