I'm trying to create a basic database for generating Purchase Orders.
I found the following post (among others) that recommends using
Northwind and changing "Customers" to "Vendors" to reverse Sales Orders
to Purchase Orders:

I have a few questions:
If I do as is suggested in the thread, each Purchase Order would have a
unique Vendor (but possibly multiple items from that vendor). Is this
typical or do most companies allow for ordering from Multiple Vendors
on a single PO?
More relevant to the suggestion/Northwind, doesn't the Suppliers ->
Products part of the structure already contain information you would
use for Purchase Orders? In other words, why change the "Customers"
table to "Vendors" as opposed to simply using the "Suppliers"?
