Ravi, I think I would be happiest to leave this as a single bi-partite relationship. We have looked at this a lot in NextGRID, and even complex contracts (such as an EU project) actually boil down legally to a collection of contracts between two organizations, although they all sign a single document.

Hi Jem/Andreas,

A quick comment: In the glossary#Agreement why is the object of the relationship the delivery of a service by *only one* of the parties? Couldn't it be "one or more" since there can be alternates for the same service, multipart agreements or aggregated services? It is possible that GRAAP choose the single party to simplify the management of agreements but this case is a subset of what the term can represent. Agree?

Thanks!

Ravi
