We have customers across multiple companies that all share a credit limit. For example, customer 12345 exists for company A, B and C. We have customer 12345-1 for company A, 12345-2 for company B and 12345-3 for company C. We have these 3 separate customers linked by an arbitrary field(Identifier Reference) and I want to know if there is a better way to set this up so we have a single credit limit for all these customers that can be filtered down. This is needed so there is only one task for credit review instead of 3 for each “customer”. Is there a way to setup a proper Grandparent-Parent-Child relationship so this is possible or is the Parent field the only option?

Hi ​@kjaku 

 

Have you looked into the Corporate Credit Relationship within the Credit Information tab on the Customer Record? Here you can define Parent/child relationships and my understanding (although ive not used this before) is that the child record would not need a credit limit,  but would use the credit limit of the parent… Something to look into in a bit more detail maybe to see whether it fits your requirement.

 

Thanks

James

Correct James

you can either set up the relationship with a single Parent Limit
 

or you can have a combination of a Parent Limit and Child Limits
