Description

Use Account Code Entry 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 identify
outgoing calls with a project, client, or department. You can enter an account code
before or during a call or not at all. You 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
a caller to enter an account code before placing an outside call. You can change
or correct an account code while a call is in progress, but you cannot cancel it.
To enter, change, or correct an account code during a call, activate the feature
and enter the account code. Only the person who enters the account code hears
the tones generated by dialing the account code number. To cancel an account
code (when permitted), activate the feature and exit without entering a code.
