1.5 Making Call Features

1.5.2.3Account 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 ( 1.20.1 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 ( Account Code Mode [605]).

of service (COSs) 3 through 5 will be changed temporarily to COS 2.

 

COSs 1 and 2 will not be affected. If the entered account code is also

be given priority. The COS of the corresponding extension will be applied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conditions

An account code can be stored in Memory Dialling (One-touch Dialling, Hot Line, Speed Dialling— System/Personal, Call Forwarding (FWD) to Outside (CO) Line, etc.). In this case, the Account Code feature number and specified account code must be entered after the Outside (CO) Line Access number.

An extension user does not need to enter an account code for incoming outside (CO) line calls.

Even in Forced/Verify-All/Verify-Toll mode, emergency calls can be made without an account code ( 1.5.2.2 Emergency Call).
