Mapping suppliers to inputs

It would be useful to have suppliers mapped to inputs and customers to outputs. As it is currently, these are completely separate entities, while in reality these are dependent of one another.

Let's say we have the following defined for an activity:

Suppliers:

sourcing manager
purchasing manager
Inputs:

price
order quantity

With current structure there's no way to determine that sourcing manager is responsible for price, while the purchasing manager is responsible for order quantity. It would make sense to make it possible to connect this two information.

Ideally, when exporting the process the inputs tab would look like this: https://prnt.sc/tmjege

Obviously, same goes for outputs and customers.

    Thanks for your request! We plan to introduce structured custom properties into the product at a future time. Structured custom properties contain sub-properties, and would allow you to group properties together in custom ways. We have no concrete timeline yet for when we would tackle this feature, but we'll update this RFE when that changes. Thanks!
