Hi,
I have a requirement to add Parent account contacts to child accounts. But when I tried to add same contacts in child account then for Parent account all account got removed. It seems only one contact can be added in each account.
Please help in this. The requirement is not to make duplicate contacts.
Thanks!
Samiksha

Hi @Samiksha2 ,
You can cerate a Account Hierarchy.
Use the account hierarchy feature to create a parent-child relationship between accounts.
An account hierarchy represents the legal entity structure of the accounts and their relationships. It also represents an account's customers, assets, and service entitlements.
- View and create cases.
- View assets and users.
- View and manage contacts.
Contacts of the parent account can also access all of the child accounts.
The system administrator defines the hierarchy between accounts on the Account form. From the Account form for the child account, select the parent in the Parent Account field. If this field is not filled in, the account is a top-level account.
After the account hierarchy has been defined, it is displayed on the Account form for the parent account. If a parent account is updated or deleted, the hierarchy for any child accounts is also updated.
- Navigate to All > Customer Service > Customer > Accounts.
- Select the desired child account.
- Select the parent for this account in the Parent Account field.
- Click Update.
The account hierarchy is displayed in a tree map on the Account form for the parent account.

Hi @Community Alums ,
Thank you for your reply.
Please check the below screenshots.
If the same contacts I am adding in the parent account, then it is removing from the child account and vise versa
Could you please tell me why this is happening, Is there any script for that?
Thanks,
Samiksha
