I was trying to add a sub-customer to a parent customer, but the online version would never find my parent customer.  I was able to do it on my phone though, and it shows up correctly online - so all is good!

 

Thanks!

Hello there, employmentconsul.

 

I'm here to guide you in managing your sub-customers in QuickBooks Online.

 

Before we begin, could you please confirm whether you'd like to convert a sub-customer into a parent customer in QuickBooks?

 

If that's the case, you can easily achieve this in just a few steps. Like this:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu, then choose the Customers tab.
  2. Select and open the sub-customer's profile.
  3. Click on Edit.
  4. In the customer's detail window, uncheck the Is a sub-customer option.
  5. Once done, hit Save.

 

On the other hand, if you need to change the parent account associated with the sub-customer, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu, then choose the Customers tab.
  2. Open the sub-customer's profile.
  3. Click on Edit.
  4. In the customer details, select the parent customer in the Parent customer dropdown.
  5. Then, tick the Bill parent checkbox if you want to bill the sub-customer with the parent customer.
  6. Once you're finished, hit Save.

 

I'm also providing you with additional resources for more information on managing your customers and sub-customers:

 

 

Please let me know if you mean something else or if you need assistance with something else related to customers, please feel free to ask. Have a wonderful day!
