how to put methods in django admin?

I have two models, Client and PaymentOptions.

class Client(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, unique=False)
    contact = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, unique=False)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=300, null=True, unique=False)

class ClientPaymentOption(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30, null=True, unique=False, choices=CARD_TYPE)
    action = models.CharField(max_length=30, null=True, unique=False, choices=CLIENT_PAYMENT_OPTION)
    percent = models.FloatField(max_length=10, null=True, unique=False)
    fixamount = models.FloatField(max_length=20, null=True, unique=False)
    itemcharged = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True, unique=False)

in my admin.py I have this :

admin.site.disable_action('delete_selected')
class ClientAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    #display list
    list_display = ('name','contact','address')
    #display fields
    fields = ('name','contact','address')
    pass
admin.site.register(Client, ClientAdmin)

class PaymentOptionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'action', 'percent', 'fixamount', 'itemcharged', 'client')
    fields = ('name', 'action','percent', 'fixamount', 'itemcharged', 'client')
admin.site.register(ClientPaymentOption, ClientPaymentOptionAdmin)

is it possible that whenever I create a new Client in django admin it will also automatically create it's ClientPaymentOption?

I try to do this in my admin.py:

class ClientAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    #display list
    list_display = ('name','b_type','banner','logo',
                    'contact','address','account_type',
                    'status','currency','color','user',
                    )
    #display fields
    fields = ('name','b_type','banner','logo','contact',
              'address','account_type','status',
              'currency','color','user',
              )
    pass
    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
        ClientPaymentOption.objects.create(name='MasterCard',action='% Charged', client=obj.id, percent=0.10)
        ClientPaymentOption.objects.create(name='Visa', action='% Charged',client=obj.id, percent=0.10)

but i got this error:

ValueError at /admin/client_app/client/add/
Cannot assign None: "ClientPaymentOption.client" does not allow null values.

when I try to print the parameters, i have noticed that the Client still not saved...

print obj.id
None

do anyone have an idea or suggestion about my case?

thanks in advance ...

Call the parent's method before attempting to create the new objects.
