Hi,

Does Dynamics 365 Business Central has Parent and Child (National Account) function similar in Dynamics GP? 

National Account/Parent and Child Definition

A national account is a combination of related customers that make up a single organization. The parent customer is the controlling organization of the national account. This parent customer has child customers and is usually the customer that distributes payments on behalf of the child accounts.

A national account provides the ability to restrict payments for child customers, apply credit checking, place holds, and assess finance charges at a consolidated national account level. You also can pay the parent customer of a national account when creating a refund check for the child customer, depending on the options you select when you set up the national account using the National Accounts Maintenance window. Reports and inquiries throughout Receivables Management can provide consolidated information about the activity of a national account or provide details for an individual customer. (Includes consolidated Customer Statement and Customer Aging)

Thank you

    In most cases, you would want the child to be the Bill-to-Customer, but the parent to receive a consolidated statement of all children accounts.  Payment often comes from the parent to be distributed to the children.

    Yes, I believe you can achieve this by using the Parent customer as Bill-to Customer of all the Child customers. In that case your AR is against the Parent customer etc.
