Essentially, when you have setup a national accounts hierarchy in Sales>Cards>National Accounts and marked there that you Allow Receipts for Entry for Children of the National Account then this field (below) in the apply window will open up.
CAVEATS: The customers must have been setup as national accounts related BEFORE you entered the transactions. This is because when you enter a transaction for a national account then a specific field in the SQL tables fills out with that information and if you had not yet setup the relationship, that field is blank.
Here are some screenshots to help out, but if you are not able to do this, then it is likely the transaction(s) in question were entered BEFORE the national account was setup

Hi @calvin-smithus-bigdaishowa-com
Yes, in order to have one customer be able to affect another customers payments and invoices they have to be setup with a relationship in the National Accounts card.
It’s very easy to set this up, but as I said before, it would have to have been setup before you entered the transactions in question.

Perhaps i was not clear. I have already setup the parent account as a nation account and then i added the child account to the parent account. Now when i receive payments i open the parent account and apply the payment to the invoices (parent/child). However, if I need to apply a Credit that is in a child account, but the child has no open invoices then it won’t let me apply it. I can only apply a credit to other child invoices only if it is in the parent account. Is there’s anything i can do to make this possible?

Good Morning Calvin…
This is a limitation of National Account, well not really – it is designed to be that way…
A child can not push credits to the parent or another child.
You need to do the following:
1a. Create a debit memo for the child (debit AR, credit Suspense)
1b. Apply the credit memo for the child to this created debit memo
2a. Create a credit memo to parent/other child (debit Suspense, credit AR)
2b. Apply the new credit memo to the parent/other child
