## Creating Medical Inquiries for Child Accounts

Users can now create medical inquiries for the child account to easily maintain the relationship between the child account and the parent account. The child and parent accounts are auto-populated on the medical inquiry to allow users to easily verify the correct child account is used.

Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) fulfill medical inquiries for child accounts using the same method as for parent accounts. See [Medical Inquiry Fulfillment](MedicalInquiryFulfillment.htm) for more information.

* The list displays the name of the parent account, an account identifier, and an address to assist users in identifying and selecting the correct location

* The Location field is editable until the record is saved
* From a child account or child account related list:
* The location Id for the parent account is auto-populated on the Medical Inquiry and is not editable
* From a CLM presentation (iPad only) or call:
* The location for the parent account is auto-populated on the Medical Inquiry and is not editable
* The location for a group call is copied from the account of the parent call. For an individual call, the location is copied from the Location field.

Users cannot create a Medical Inquiry from the Child Account Hierarchy, from the Medical Inquiry tab, or for a child account where the relationship is between a parent account and a parent account.
