AR National Accounts - On Hold but the Child accounts are still open?

I thought you were able to put the national account on hold and that would force the "on hold" to all the child accounts?  What method would be the easiest to put all the child accounts on hold as well so that people can't keep entering orders and shipping?  

I think if the credit limit is removed from the National, that would it, but that's a messy solution to have remember to fix later.
