Description
Account Code Entry is used to enter account codes (developed by accounting
or administrative personnel) for outside calls, both incoming and outgoing.
These codes appear on Station Message Detailed Recording (SMDR) reports,
along with other call information, and are used for billing or cost accounting to
associate outgoing calls with a project, client, or department. Users can enter
an account code before or during a call, or not at all. They can also change,
correct, or cancel an account code while the call is in progress.
Forced Account Code Entry is similar, but affects only outgoing calls and
requires the user to enter an account code before placing an outside call.
Users can change or correct an account code while a call is in progress; they
cannot cancel it.
To enter, change, or correct an account code during a call, the user activates
the feature and enters the account code. The person who enters the account
code hears the tones generated by dialing the account code number. To
cancel an account code (when permitted), the user activates the feature and
exits without entering a code.
