Fast New Customer with Parent
When setting up a new customer from a template (prototype), by default this can have a parent customer to factor invoices to. This is potentially useful if you want to quickly add retail customer details, but not flood your financials with hundreds of one off cash accounts.
With this in place you keep the customer record on the trading system (Merchanter) for pricing, marketing, historical lookup, but all the invoices go to the financials under a single cash account.
