Parent/Child head office/branch office Debtor Accounts

The Debtors module incorporates Head Office /Branch office (Parent / Child) debtor accounts. The parent and child accounts must have the same Period Type. Once the linking has been established, the bottom right corner of the form status bar of the branch/child account is updated displays the linking marker Click on tab to load the Head Office / Parent account . The linking between the two can only be broken when all the child transactions are allocated and aged out.

All transactions are recorded under the Head office /parent code with a link to the child account code – debtor sourced transactions, sales orders and credit notes etc. The parent’s General Ledger account linking's control the journal postings to the General Ledger unless the Debtor system setting ChildDebtorsUseChildGLAccounts is ticked.

Transactions can be viewed in the Transactions tab of the child debtor record with access to the allocations disabled. Parent and child transactions are displayed in the Transactions tab of the parent record and all allocations, child and parent, can only be done at the parent level. The Reference field in the Transactions tab includes the debtor account number.
