Account Code Entry

Description
An account code is used to identify outgoing CO line calls for accounting and billing purposes.
The account code is appended to the Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) call record.
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 two methods of entering account codes explained below.
One of the methods is selected for each extension based on Class of Service (COS)
programming (

Conditions
• An account code can be stored in Memory Dialing (One-touch Dialing, for example).
• Account Button
A flexible button can be customized as the Account button. The Account button is used in
place of the feature number for entering an account code. This button is useful because it
can be used at any time, while feature number entry is allowed only when hearing a dial
tone before seizing a CO line.
• Account code entry after receiving a disconnection signal from a CO line must be done
while hearing a reorder tone. Otherwise the SMDR call record is logged and entry
becomes impossible afterwards.
• If an account code is entered more than once, the code entered last is logged in the
SMDR.
• Even in Forced mode, emergency numbers can be dialed without an account code. (
1.5.4.2 Emergency Call)
• Proprietary telephone (PT) users can also enter an account code for incoming CO line
calls during a conversation.
• Verified Code Entry
To identify who made a CO line call for accounting and billing purposes, a verified code
can be used. This code can be used at any extension. (
