Master Feeders vs Related Accounts

A "master/feeder" relationship consolidates multiple accounts with recurring charges into a single invoice, with the individual accounts identified by name or address. A "related account" groups accounts together for reporting and searching, independent of their recurring charges. For example, you can search for a related account to apply a single payment across multiple accounts. The key difference is that a master/feeder relationship is a billing function, while a related account is for organizational purposes.
