Account Code Entry (F12)
Description
This feature can be used only from a system phone.
This feature lets a user enter an account code (up to 16 digits) for an outside call
(incoming or outgoing). An account code typically is used to identify a
department, project, or client for charge-back or tracking purposes.
Related Features
Forced Account Code Entry (#307)
to identify system phone
extensions that are
required to enter an account code prior to dialing any
outside number (including those on the Emergency Phone Number List). A
forced account code must be entered at the beginning of a call; however, a
different account code can be entered any time during the call.
Forced Account Code List (#409)
account codes, which should be distributed to the appropriate users. If a
Forced Account Code List exists, the system checks the list whenever a
user enters a forced account code. If the code is valid, the system provides
the user access to an outside line. If the code is invalid, the system denies
the user access to an outside line.
For faster entry of frequently used account codes, you can program an
account code on an Auto Dial button or as a System or Personal Speed Dial
number (but not as a Marked System Speed Dial number). See
for programming instructions.
Considerations
When an account code is entered during a call, the caller on the other end
does not hear the touch-tone digits dialed.
If SMDR is used, the account code assigned to incoming or outgoing calls
prints on call reports. (See “Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)” in Chapter 4
for more information about call reporting.)
If an account code is entered for an
outgoing call and the call is transferred
to another extension, the call report shows the
originating extension as the
owner of the call. Conversely, if an account code is entered for an
incoming
call and the call is transferred to another extension, the call report shows the
destination extension as the owner of the call.
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.
