1.5.4.3 Account Code Entry
Description
An account code is used to identify outgoing trunk calls for accounting and billing purposes. The account code
is appended to the SMDR call record. If, for example, a firm uses an account code for each client, the firm can
determine what calls were made for the client, and can submit a bill to the client according to the client’s account
code on the SMDR call record.
There are two methods of entering account codes as follows:
One of the methods is selected for each extension on a COS basis.
Mode Description
Option A user can enter an account code if needed at any time desired.
Forced A user must always enter an account code before seizing a trunk.
Conditions
•
An account code can be stored into Memory Dialling (e.g., One-touch Dialling).
•
Account Button
A flexible button can be customised 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 trunk.
•
Extension users can enter an account code at any time during a call, including after the call has been
disconnected and a reorder tone is heard. However, if an account code is entered after there is no longer
a reorder tone, the call will not be stored in the SMDR record.
•
If more than one account code is entered, the code entered last is printed out on SMDR.
•
Even in Forced mode, emergency numbers can be dialled out without an account code. (

•
PT users can also enter an account code for incoming trunk calls during a conversation.
•
Verification Code Entry
To identify who made a trunk call for accounting and billing purposes, a verification code is used. This code
can be used at any extension. (
