Manage the Company Hierarchy
Administrators can build a Company Hierarchy by assigning related companies to a designated parent company, which is the company at the top of the organization. If the Company Type is Company
, the company is not part of an organization and is eligible to become a parent company, or to be assigned to an existing parent company.
In the Admin, you manage company assignments by editing a company, and then updating the Company Hierarchy configuration to assign or unassign companies.
