- URL: https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/api/accounting/most-commonly-used/customer A customer is a consumer of the service or product that your business offers. An individual customer can have an underlying nested structure, with a parent customer (the top-level object) having zero or more sub-customers and jobs associated with it. Sub-customer examples: Members of a team or league: the team itself is the parent customer and the members are sub-customers. Properties managed by a property management company: the management company is the parent customer and the properties are the sub-customers. Job examples: Tracking a kitchen remodel: the home owner is the parent customer and individual kitchen remodel tasks are jobs. Tracking car repairs: the car owner is the parent customer and individual car repairs are jobs. Use the Customer resource to create parent customer objects, sub-customer objects, and job objects according to your business requirements. Use the ParentRef and Job attributes in the customer object to designate whether the object is a parent, nested job or nested sub-customer. First, create parent customer objects: Set Job to false (default) and do not define ParentRef. Then, create sub-customer and job objects: Set Job to true and set ParentRef to reference parent customer object. Going forward, specify an individual parent customer object, sub-customer object, or job object in sales transactions via the transaction's CustomerRef attribute, based on your business requirements.See QuickBooks product documentation for more about sub-customers and jobs.
