Parent - Child Deal Automation

Support_1862

Hi Team,

We would like to see an option to Parent/Child deals with associated deals.
We have a main pipeline for Signups/Registration and once successfull they will have deals made for 8 quarters. It would be helpful, if we can link those deals together and automate to move to different stages in respective pipelines(we have same pipeline stages for all the quarterly pipelines), when the parent update it's stages. We use same Customer ID as a unique field for all the deals.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks
Mobin

Hi @Support 

So what you're trying to do is set up some sort of subscription right?

Perhaps what's described here is a way easier solution to what you're trying to achieve: https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006765278-Insights-reports-Recurring-revenue-#C1

If this is not helping let me know and we can see if we can get creative with the workflow automation 😊

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. This is not a subsciption plan. This is fuel rebate refunds, we do track them on quarterly pipelines and will have different amounts depending on their fuel purchases.

I believe automation would be the best option to have.

Thanks for clarifying @Support ! 

@Paulo do you perhaps have any genius idea for Mobin?

I second this - It would be great if you have one parent opportunity that is to be won, but its bid through many different companies.  Were in the construction world as a sub - and we bid a single project through 5 contractors, so tracking 5 jobs inflates the pipeline as its really only one opportunity for revenue.

@Mike van der Valk  Hope this still is in your consideration. Cheers!

Hi @Support I've passed on your suggestion to our product team in the past and will highlight it again but at the moment it's not in the short term plans as there's other priorities for our development teams. Nonetheless, I'll be sure to highlight this request once more.

Hoping to bring this topic back to life - it would be great if there could be a hierarchy with deals. 

If we have one large deal (an IDIQ or a MAC) that will have separate TO's under it - we'd like to link them to the Parent (Primary) deal.

Example:

Stone & Son Suit Warehouse (Primary/Parent)

• Stone & Son Shoes (Child)
• Stone & Son Formal (Child)

The deals would link back to the Parent (original award) but we could see & track them separately.
