I'm glad to see you in this forum, James. Let me help you bill your sub-customers with the parent customer in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Billing the parent customers for the sub-customers charges will have you ensure that both billing information is the same. This way, the parent billing info will display even selecting the sub-customer name on the invoice.

 

To do so, please ensure that you have your sub-customer setup. You can refer to the steps below for the guidelines:

 

  1. Go to the Customers menu and select Customer Center.
  2. From the customer's list, hover your mouse over the diamond bullet under Smith - Bathroom.
  3. You'll see a four-headed arrow and drag it to the right. Do the same steps in assigning sub-customers. 
  4. The customer is already under the primary Smith customer. 

 

Once done, create an invoice for your sub-customer. This will then be billed automatically to the parent customer.

 

Afterwards, you can create a statement after billing them. In this manner, all invoices for both will show up: Create a billing statement.

 

Should you have more questions about billing your customers. Don't hesitate to post them here. I'm just a few clicks away. Have a great day!

Thanks for that reply. 
I was hoping I could bill multiple sub-jobs on one invoice, rather than creating separate invoices for each sub-job. Any way to do it?
