"Along with host entry on the local instance"
I guess you mean to add the sub-domain to tenant's front site? Because it
only runs on HTTPS 8443 OOTB, should I add HTTPS entry and HTTPS port?

I am dreaming someone can build a multi-tenant docker image to demo this
feature.

Hello Fred,

You can use 'TenantDomainName' entity for setting domain name for each
tenant. Along with host entry on the local instance. System is capable to
identify tenant on the basis of domain/sub-domain.

''BILL_FROM_VENDOR' party id in the demo instance is 'Company'.
