Is there a differnce? commercial_company_name vs company_name

Question

In Odoo 10 and thinking ahead of dealing with companies and parent companies in res.partner
Should/Can I use commercial_company_name for parent company
and company_name for subsidiary/child company
or am I better off adding in Parent Company info into custom fields?

If CompanyABC has 2 contacts (children): John and Bob. Then you have 3 partner records:
1. CompanyABC
2. CompanyABC, John
3. CompanyABC, Bob
CompanyABC is the commercial partner. John is a partner. Bob is a partner.

The record that is the commercial partner is used for when it is more useful to consider the whole entity as opposed to each separate partners. For example, if you sell to $100 John and $200 Bob, then a sales report will show that $300 have been sold to CompanyABC.

I found my answer, by filling out info and then checking that which was created in the database and it appears that there is no dif betwixt the two. So I'll add some fields to account for Parent companies.
