what are best practices for managing Accounts with many locations, e.g. franchises?   Some customers are billed at headquarters and others are billed individually.  

- the Account Parent field  supports the Parent Child Hierarchical Relationship.

What is the best way to  generate a drill down report of Account and their locations.

Some users I noticed created a Custom Module, e.g. establishments.   Is there a good business case for creating duplicate data  and structures  which could complicate Creator functionality. 

 

Thank You for your input.
