Batch Invoicing for Sub-Customers with Parent

Does anyone know of a way to efficiently batch invoice sub-customers with a parent?

 

I have 80 sub-customers with a parent company and I am struggling to do this with any of the interfaces QBO provides.

Online Spreadsheet Batch View:

QBO invalidates duplicated rows for customers with a parent upon submission. It requires you to  MANUALLY go back and re-select the customer from the drop-down to refresh the cell.

Also, there is no way to select multiple customers at once in the drop down menu when selecting “duplicate for multiple customers”. You have to manually click each one to append. A check box system would be easier here.

Spreadsheet Sync:

No field for parent company, so it treats the customer name as a new customer upon upload. No attempt to fetch or match meta data to carry into invoice.

CSV Template Import:

Several fields are missing which invalidates the method right away.

Does anyone have a way around this?

 

Thank you in advance!
