Yes, you can make the existing customer a job in QuickBooks Desktop, DanBu.
To perform this process, you need to do it from the Add/Edit Multiple Customer window. I'm glad to walk you through the steps.
Please note if that customer already has transactions, they will now be assigned to the new parent customer (as a part of the job).

Here's how:
Follow the steps in this article to group your customers if you have QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 2021 or later version: Create a customer group in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'm always around to help you if you have further questions in QuickBooks. Have a great day.
@Giovann_G Thank you very much for your detailed reply! I followed the instructions, however where I get stuck is that this would require me to begin a brand new customer card for each of the sub-customers of the main parent group. I already have entries for each of the sub-customers and it would be impractical to lose the history and have to re-create the open invoices for each of them if I started new sub-customer entries.
Is it possible to take existing customer entries and make them sub-customers of a main parent customer group?
