# Receivables across child entities

Parent Receivables list includes child-entity invoices; move via the underlined entity name on the other-tenant note.

On a **parent** workspace, the Receivables invoice list includes invoices that belong to child entities you can access. Open a child invoice without switching tenant in the nav, then move it if needed.

**Who this is for:** Multi-entity organisations that manage Accounts Receivable from a parent entity while child legal entities own the documents.

## 1. See child invoices on the parent list

1. Select the **parent** entity in the account menu.
2. Open **Receivables → Invoices**.
3. Rows include receivables whose document tenant is a **child** you have **view invoice receivables** permission for.

Cortena does **not** automatically switch your selected tenant when you open a child row.

## 2. Other-entity note and move

When the invoice belongs to a different entity than your current selection:

1. An amber **Other tenant** note explains that the invoice belongs to another workspace.
2. The **entity name** in that note is underlined.
3. Click it to open **Search entity…** and move the invoice to another entity in the hierarchy (you need edit permission and more than one eligible target).

This matches the payables other-tenant pattern.

## 3. Create and forward into the tree

When creating or **forwarding a payable to a receivable**, you can pick a child (or sibling) target from the multi-entity tree where your permissions allow. Hierarchy is configured under **Settings → Multi-Entity Configuration**.

## Tips and limitations

- You need receivable permissions on both source and target entities to move.
- Workflow assignees can include users from child entities when you edit on the parent (see your workflow setup).
