Accounts/Subsidiaries/Locations

[tdent]

My company is looking into deploying SugarCRM and one of the questions I've received is how the system can handle accounts with subsidiaries and different locations of each subsidiary.

My assumption is that you set up an account at the most granular level, meaning that Account 1 is the California office of the XYZ subsidiary of Company A. Account 2 would be the Texas office of the XYZ subsidiary of Company A, and so on. Is my understanding of this correct?

If so, where then do I enter details for Subsidiary XYZ and where would I enter details for Company A?

Thanks in advance for any help on the matter.

By default you can declare accounts to be member of other accounts / organisations.
That way you can easily build what you described...

Madmat -

Thanks so much for your quick response. That was exactly what I was looking for. If you don't mind - another question that's somewhat related. If I were to assign an action under one of the subsidiaries (member groups), can I get one report for the master account that shows all actions for that master account as well as all of its members?
