Hi Torbett,
This looks like a case for a knowledgeable GP consultant to jump in and asses your current status.. You may well have been misguided by your initial partner for the business case you wanted to setup, but it may not all be a lost cause.. GP is capable of handling manufacturing process, discreet and retail production, all the procurement and sales side of things, even drop-shipping, and the financial module is very robust too.
You could also seek some help in the GP User group forums on the www.gpug.com .. you can register for a free trial period and the annual membership is reasonable, providing many benefits.
Hope you'll find a good 'new' partner that will better understand your business.
