1.1.2 Account Code Entry
Description
An account code is used to identify outgoing outside (CO) line calls for accounting and billing purposes.
Account codes are appended to SMDR call records ( 1.1.112 Station Message Detail Recording
(SMDR)), and have several uses. For example, a firm can use an account code for each client to determine
which calls were made for which client, and can submit a bill to the client according to the client's account
code as shown on the SMDR call record.
There are 4 methods of entering account codes, explained below. One method is assigned to each
extension through system programming ( [605] Account Code Mode).
