Siebel Life Sciences Guide > Administering and Managing Accounts in Life Sciences > Process of Managing Accounts > Creating SubaccountsSome accounts can have child accounts or subaccounts; for example, a hospital can have several departments or clinics. End users can create subaccounts for existing accounts using the Sub Accounts view. End users can also use this view to indicate affiliations between contacts and subaccounts. Once a user has created a subaccount, it can be viewed and modified in any of the views in the Accounts screen. All accounts, parent accounts and child subaccounts, exist as separate accounts in Siebel CRM. In the Account Explorer view, however, a subaccount appears under its parent, reflecting the hierarchical relationship between the two. Table 10 describes how parent and subaccount team membership affect account data access. Users assigned to a parent account team but not to a subaccount team, only have partial access to subaccount data. In contrast, users assigned to a subaccount team but not to the parent account team, have no access to the parent account except to the account name. NOTE: Do not use the Account Sub Accounts view to indicate affiliations between independent accounts, such as a hospital and a referring clinic. For more information on establishing this type of association, see Indicating Affiliations Between Accounts. This task is a step in Process of Managing Accounts.
NOTE: To enter detailed data for a subaccount (such as activities and best times to call), drill down on the Name field and complete the fields in the various account views.
