Import of MFG (Supplier) object created at site level

[avillanueva]

I am testing imports of Orgs and Manufacturer objects and glad I did. Orgs went in just fine but the MANUFACTURER object was lacking a critcial field and the import ended up creating it in the site level I believe:

Now this is not the WTOrganization it is tied to but the container. Obviously, it did not appear correct and it was invisible. In fact, it allowed me to create it via UI methods just fine creating a duplicate. Not sure why if there is only one place they could go, it would default to site which makes it useless.  

#CreateSupplier~create~com.ptc.windchill.suma.supplier.LoadSupplier.createSupplier~SupplierType~organization~domain~lifecycletemplate~lifecyclestate~teamTemplate~type					
#EndSupplier~create~com.ptc.windchill.suma.supplier.LoadSupplier.endCreateSupplier					
CreateSupplier	MANUFACTURER	QP001		Basic	RELEASED
EndSupplier					
CreateSupplier	MANUFACTURER	QP003		Basic	RELEASED
EndSupplier					

 I think I can do I DB edit to fix this for the one I imported but I have more to do.

Sometimes you find you mistakes/solutions as you document them:

Need to specify the Org in the command line when importing. Still good to document that this is possible to foul up.
