Child clients allow you to raise and manage tasks against individual clients; however, invoices are automatically set against the Parent client.
A Parent/Child client structure is suitable for clients with multiple branches and a head office that is responsible for accounts payable, such as a franchise business or strata management company.
Adding a Child Client
Once saved, the child company's client card has an additional field for the parent client. |

Child Client Appearance
In views where the Client selected is a Child Client (including tasks, projects, task quotes and task invoices), it will appear in the format 'Parent Client > Child Client'. For example, in the image shown: Carrgrave Facilities Maintenance > Platinum Towers. |
