  • Customer > Details Page > "Customer Information" Card > "Parent" field > Edit

Within the "Change Parent Customer" window, you will be able to select the new Parent Customer record via the "Customer" dropdown menu:

*Note* You will not be able to change the Parent Customer if any of the following are true:

  • There is at least one existing invoice in the child departments related to the Parent Customer record.
  • The worksite address used in the Job Order belongs to another department of the Customer the Job Order is linked to.

Once the information has been confirmed, select "Save".

*Note* When changing the Primary Customer record, please keep in mind the following:

  • Moving a customer with sub-departments will move the whole structure (all sub-departments related to the customer) to the new parent customer.
  • The parent customer name of any existing active or inactive Job Orders, Assignments and Contacts will be replaced with the name of the new parent customer after the change.
