Independent sub accounts
To configure independent sub accounts, select the Independent Sub Accounts check box for the aggregate account type in the Account Type page. If you do not select this check box, then the sub accounts are dependent.
Dependent sub accounts are billed together with the master account in an aggregate bill, and aggregate payments are typically distributed among the sub accounts based on their pay order. These billing functions are not available for dependent sub accounts:
- Direct debit
- Budget billing
- Payment arrangements
- Adjustment packages
- Cancel and rebill
If the sub accounts are independent, they and their transactions can be viewed from the master account, but the sub accounts are billed and paid separately. They also can be managed independently, such as by setting up direct debit or budget billing for a sub account.
