NOTE: You can only create a child company as a parent company user. Any company that is created under the parent company can be managed by users within it and within the parent company. The users in the child company do not have access to management of the parent company.

Companies hierarchies depth

The maximum vertical depth of company hierarchies is limited to 5 levels where the first level is the parent company and 4 levels of child companies. One company can have multiple horizontal companies.

Company „Merge“ functionality changes – after 2024.05.06. Currently, the system performs two separate actions in the background when merging two companies:

1.      Moving „Source“ company under „Target“ company.

2.      Merging „Source“ company with „Target“ company.

We want to streamline „Move“ and „Merge“ functionalities in FOTA WEB to perform the intended action. After changes are introduced, „Merge“ action will be allowed only when the source company is the immediate parent of the target company. For example, in a company structure like this:

• Company A  - Parent company.
  • Company B - Child of Company A.
    • Company D - Child of Company B.
  • Company C - Child of Company A.

“Company B” and “Company C” can be merged with “Company A”. And “Company D” can be merged with “Company B”. Graphical representation:

2. Click on Delete.

4. Click on Delete.
