Client families overview

Your firm may have clients that are responsible for billing of services provided to other, related clients. In Practice CS, this collection of related clients is referred to as a
client family
. The client that you bill for services is the
parent client
, and a related client that bills to the parent client is a
subsidiary client
.
When a group of clients that you select for billing contains members of a client family, Practice CS creates a single invoice for the parent client.
note
You can set up Practice CS to automatically select the subsidiary clients when billing the parent clients. To do so, select
Setup
,
User Preferences
, the
Billing
tab, and mark the
Automatically select subsidiary Clients when selecting parent Clients
checkbox.
See
Setting up client billing options
for instructions on how to set up a client as a member of a client family.
