■Account codes can be changed during a call. However, only the person
who entered the original account code can enter a different account code.
SMDR prints changed account codes as follows:
— For optional or forced account code entry
without
a Forced Account
Code List, the call report prints the last account code entered.
— For forced account code entry
with
a Forced Account Code List, the
call report prints the last valid account code entered. If the changed
account code is not valid, the report prints the original account code.
■If a Forced Account Code List exists, you can check to see if an account
code is valid when entering or changing an account code by pressin g
f 1 2 after entering the account code. If the account code is not
valid, you will hear a denial tone.
■The Lucent Technologies Call Accounting Terminal uses less than 16 digits
for an account code. Refer to the device’s documentation to determine the
maximum digits supported.
■You can program the Account Code Entry feature code on a button on a
system phone. It is recommended that you use a button with lights. (This
button can be used for optional Account Code Entry or Forced Accou nt
Code Entry.)
