A parent company is defined as a large organization that manages and controls smaller subsidiaries. Properties may want to report on the volume of business associated with a parent company and its subsidiaries. Parent companies are not directly linked to a reservation. They are indirectly connected via their linked company relation profiles.

Source codes are used to help a property define and manage their market segmentation.
These are set up in Settings > Statistics > Source code
When selected, all reservations booked by the company receive this default source code on the reservation screen, unless a different default source is linked as the default source on the rate type. The rate type default source overwrites the source linked in the company relation. We do not recommend assigning a source to a relation, unless the source of business is always the same for that relation profile each time a booking is made.Memo
