Testing
When multiple account levels are created, the accounts are linked (account-sub account, or account-
sub account-sub sub account). They become a set and are treated as one separate account, with one
account number and one password. The top level account number and password are rolled down to
the first sub account that is created. When you add a second sub account to this top level account, you
create a new linked set of accounts with a different account number and password.
Note:
Only the lowest level of the account hierarchy is chargeable. This means that transactions can
only be posted to that account.
Account attributes
When you create accounts, you can assign attributes to each top level account, sub account, and sub
sub account.
