- The sample above is a fictitious version of Sub Account Ledger for Boston University, which is a Parent Customer Account.
This ledger shows that the account has several Ship To locations that are considered Child Accounts. Each Child Account receives products directly from you, but the Parent Account pays the invoice for those products.
In this example, there is also a Child Account that is a completely separate customer account–ABC Contracting, which appears first on the ledger, is a separate customer with a unique account number that you can see in the far left column.
