Administrators can build a Company Hierarchy by assigning related companies to a designated parent company, which is the company at the top of the organization. If the Company Type is Company, the company is not part of an organization and is eligible to become a parent company, or to be assigned to an existing parent company.

In the Admin, you manage company assignments by editing a company, and then updating the Company Hierarchy configuration to assign or unassign companies.

Company Hierarchy Grid

NOTE
For details about the Company Hierarchy grid, see Company Hierarchy field descriptions.

Assign companies to an organization

  1. From the Admin sidebar, navigate to Customers > Companies.

  2. In the Companies grid, open the company detail page to create the assignments.

    • To assign additional companies to an existing parent company, select the Edit action for the parent company.

    • To create a parent company, select the Edit action for the company to designate as the parent.

      You cannot create a parent company from an existing parent or child company.
