In this example we will bill the sub-account we created in Child Account Creation Example using the package we added in Account Package Configuration Example. Since we set the sub-account to invoice to the parent account we should see a new invoice generated under the parent account when the billing is completea single account and generate an invoice on the account when billing completes.

For additional details on the fields presented on this the Account Packages screen see the Account Packages Screen screen help.
