The parent account can be used to track the total amount of money that is being spent or received in a particular category. For example, a parent account could be used to track all expenses related to travel, or all income related to sales.

Once the parent account has been created, you can then create sub-accounts that are associated with the parent account. These sub-accounts can be used to track specific types of transactions within the parent account. For example, if you have a parent account for travel expenses, you could create sub-accounts for airfare, hotel, meals, etc.
