Relationship	How the relationship is depicted on the Company tree
Neither company has a parent/child relationship with any other company.
• Impala Industries is marked as both a Parent and a Bill To. This is evident because it is shown on the second level beneath itself. • Empire Products does not have a parent/child relationship with any company.
• Empire Products is a child of Impala Industries. • Impala Industries is a Parent, but is not marked as a Bill To. This is evident because it is not shown on the second level beneath itself.

Note: The system allows you to flag a company as both a Bill To and a parent (as well as shipper, consignee, etc). This is because it is possible for a company to serve as a parent for other companies, and as a Bill To for itself.
