    Hi there, @jackn1. I can help you with set up your customer sub-accounts in QuickBooks Online. 

     

    Sub-accounts or sub-customers is essential when you want to track your individual buyer who is part of a group or an organization. Although you can have an unlimited number of sub-customers, please note that a single parent account is limited to accommodating up to four accounts. To create one, please follow the steps below: 

     

    1. Open your QuickBooks account and ensure you've already set up your parent account
    2. Head to Sales, then Customers. 
    3. Click the New customer button and enter your sub-accounts information on the Customer window.
    4. Once done, tick the Is a sub-customer checkbox under Name and contact section. 
    5. Select the Parent customer from the dropdown. 
    6. Check the Bill parent customer box if you wish to invoice the sub-customer along with the parent customer. If you prefer to bill the sub-customer individually, leave this box unchecked.
    7. Add the remaining information needed, then Save.
