Often, one of the work parties participating in a work object is designated as the originator. This may be a customer, an employee, a vendor representative, or another party. The originator party is the party who directly caused the work object to exist.

For example, a work object for a customer complaint may contains party roles for:

• Customer (a person)
• Customer service representative (an employee of your organization)
• Customer's spouse
• Customer's lawyer
• Your organization's lawyer
• A vendor involved in the complaint

and so on. In this example, it is likely that the customer himself or herself is the originator party.
