7 • Accounting Setup
You can have all single top level accounts or you can mix both single and
multi-layered accounts. The lowest level in the account structure is where
charges are incurred. An account or subaccount, just like the subsubac-
count is the chargeable account when it’s the last, or single, link in the
structure. Piece count totals and funds used are transferred among ac-
counts, subaccounts and subsubaccounts when they are chargeable ac-
counts.
When you use an account to print postage, you are using the chargeable
account in a link of accounts (e.g., Engineering/Industrial Design/Graph-
ics and Layout) to draw from the meter’s postage funds obtained through
Postage By Phone®.
When you view accounts or print reports you are being given information
on funds used and pieces processed for each account in the hierarchal
structure. For example, (Engineering) with totals for all its subaccounts
and subsubaccounts. The subaccounts (e.g., Industrial Design) show to-
tals for their subsubaccounts (e.g., Graphics and Layout and User Friendly
Testing) and the subsubaccounts show their individual totals.
