Understanding Parent/Child Account Balances

When reviewing a customer's account, you can review account balance information for a parent account and its associated children. For example, you might want to research the total open amount of a child account or whether that child account has exceeded its assigned credit limit.

If you select to review the balances of a parent account, the system does not limit the information that it displays to the immediate children accounts. You can view account balances for grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on. The total open amount for the parent includes all of its associated children's account balances.

The Parent/Child Balance Inquiry program (P03B151) uses a tree structure to display parent/child relationships. The system uses information that is stored in the F03B15 table.
