How to merge several companies into one holding/company group

Make connections between accounts in Creatio to facilitate centralized communication and work flow between legal entities. Use the chart to manage relationships with parent and subordinate legal entities.

To view the location of a legal entity within the relationship structure, open the [Connected to] tab of the legal entity page. The currently selected legal entity is highlighted (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 Company group chart

Click the button to view the legal entity's relationships chart. Click to switch to the list view.

The chart only shows the “Holding company – Subordinate company” type connections of the account.

Note

You can change the type of the displayed connections using the “Parent account relationship type” system setting.

Let's create a corporate structure that includes subsidiaries (subordinate legal entities) with branches.

1.Open the page of the “holding legal entity” (the one that represents the head office) and go to the [Connected to] tab.

2.Click the legal entity block, then click to add a subsidiary (subordinate company Fig. 2).
Similarly, you can add a parent company to the structure. For this, click in the upper part of the block.

3.In the window that opens, locate the subordinate company –> click [Select]. If the subordinate company is not yet registered in Creatio, add a new record by clicking [New].

4.To add other subordinate companies, click the parent company block again, –> click in the lower part of the block, and repeat the previous step (Fig. 3).

Note

If the selected company already has a parent object specified, Creatio will notify you about this. You can either replace the parent company or cancel adding a subordinate company.

5.Similarly, add the subordinate company branches.

Note

If the added company already has subsidiaries, these subordinate companies will display on the diagram as well.

6.To delete a connection between legal entities, select the company connection you want to delete and click .
