Ability to merge companies that have parent/child records
Right now if you want to merge company records and any of those are set as either a parent or child record, you have to first remove that relationship before you can merge them.
When they are related to 1 or 2 companies that isn't too much of a problem, but if the company you wish to merge is related with 10+ companies it is incredibly impracticle to have to first unassociate them from each of those, merge them and then reassociate them again.
There must be a way that we can merge companies without needing to unassociate them first.
This continues to be a massive blocker for people. I would love to see the ability to let SuperAdmin's at minimum merge Parent/Child companies with connections. It is painful to have to manually disconnect and reconnect companies.
Going on two years now with no obvious movement on this much needed feature. Incredibly time cumbersome to have to remove the relationship, merge, then re-associate.
Completely agree with everyone here. The parent-child company feature is really needed but we don't use it because of the inability to merge companies. I think the parent company relationship tool should be revamped completely to make it more useful.
Yes, please. It is quite a hassle to disassociate child companies, merge them and then reassociate the merged company. I have to do this very often in a given week, so it gets annoying.
@YiRui_Chua thank you -- to clarify, the issue is that parent/child companies can't be merged with ANY other company (it's not that just parent/child companies can't be merged with EACH OTHER) 🙂
Agreed and ironically the companies, by nature, that require the most merging are the larger enterprise level companies because they often have subsidaries as well as mulitple domains etc. To not have this feature available feels counterintuitive. Please add!
Upvoted. This would be really very appreciated feature. At least the possibility to merge a (duplicate) company without parent/child relations into a (master) company that already has a parent/child relation.
