Contact - Sub Categories
Would it be possible to create a contact who is a "sub contact" of an existing contact. For example we perform work for a strata management company. Every invoice is made out to [name of strata company] but the contact details, email address and physical address are all the same - that of the management company. I would love to create [strata management company] as the main contact with all the strata "divisions" they manage below them without having to create a new contact for every single new building. What are my chances?

Appreciate where you're coming from with this idea, Kirsty.
Right now you could create a Contact Group, and have each related contact assigned to that contact group. Get what you're saying with the efficiency when having most of the same details - for now perhaps importing via csv would help create these in less time.
We also have an idea for the ability to copy a contact, and another for contact group statements that you might like to join and follow.
We'll start to get a feel of the interest for this type of feature here, and I'll let you know if there's any change planned.

We would really appreciate to implement sub contacts for clients with customers who have multiple branches. This will allow us to manage the invoicing process more effectively. Our goal is to generate a consolidated statement that includes all invoices; however, it is essential that we can clearly distinguish which invoices pertain to each specific branch. This approach will facilitate smoother communication and payment processes while ensuring that all branch-specific details are accurately represented.

We would love to have a Sub Contact, as we have clients that need to invoice different branches under the same client. The addresses and contact numbers are all different, but we would need 1 combined statement showing all the invoices for the brances on the Main Contact Statement for payment.

I have clients who we provide services to who have sub clients. They white label our services. All our invoices need to go the actual client. I would like to be able to add either a sub client to the main client or at least a note that I can see in invoices to be paid, so I can receipt the correct invoice without having to open them all.

It would be really great to be able to have subsidiaries in the contacts, especially for customers. My client uses Groups in a different way so they wouldn't be able to use that work around.
It makes sending statements and looking at the receivables very cumbersome when there are multiple customers that relate to each other. -

Thanks - I'll have a look at the other work arounds. A "branch" type system would be pretty handy to most people I'd say.
