Account Code Calls
Account Codes are used for a variety of reasons, including billing, call tracking, and line restriction
applications. The system records the Account Codes and can print them with other call details on a
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) report.
Forced Account Codes
Some applications may require that you enter an Account Code, called a Forced Account Code,
before dialling a telephone number. Forced Account Codes can be recorded for outgoing calls only.
