Sage 100

From what I can see of national accounts the only thing stored on the child is a summary record of sales by period. The open invoice is recorded to the parent/national account. Other than the summary total by customer and the extra effort of setting up a customer, WHY in the world is this much better than just using Ship To and only retaining one customer. I guess invoice history would be retrievable by either (but the same could be done with the Ship To Code). I thought what I would find is the invoice and open invoice under the child but the ability to record cash receipts and pick to make payments from all of the children. Any enhancements? Did I miss the point?

A customer is more robust than a ship to. With customers you can do price levels, customer specific pricing, split commissions, credit limits, credit holds, paperless delivery settings ...

@MichaelNottoli , That makes sense. I guess I was just looking at it differently as for the reporting aspect seems a bit limited. Thank you for the reply.
