Subsidiary Settings

Some subsidiary-specific features require additional setup before you can use them. The Subsidiary Settings Manager page enables you to manage these subsidiary-specific features that require additional setup. After you enable a subsidiary-specific feature on the Enable Features page, that feature is available on the Subsidiary Settings Manager page.

From the Subsidiary Settings Manager page, you can access the Subsidiary Settings page for a specific subsidiary. On this page you can enable subsidiary-specific features and define their additional settings for this subsidiary. For information about using the Subsidiary Settings Manager page and its Subsidiary Settings pages, see Subsidiary Settings Manager.
