Accounting Codes
What are Accounting Codes for? Why should you use them?
Accounting codes are used for accounting
and reporting purposes (i.e., billing tracking
and order details). Through accounting
codes you can collect additional data about
each order during checkout using
completely customizable text fields. To enable your customers to gather data to
track their own customers for billing and
informational purposes (i.e., to get specific
details about each order).
Accounting codes are codes used for accounting purposes and for tracking customer company-related
information. Enabling accounting codes allows customers to track billing with their clients and gather
additional information for each order during checkout. They can be used to generate reports in the
system, such as total order amount. This information can be used to prepare invoices and billing
statements for your business.
Accounting codes expand the concept of cost centers. They are a means by which you can collect
additional data about each order during checkout using completely customizable text fields.
Customer information entered during the order and checkout process is associated with the order for
order tracking or for billing purposes. Accounting code administration consists of two parts: company-
wide settings and field-level settings.
Company-wide settings
Accounting codes must be enabled for each company before they appear in the interface. (They must
also be accepted as a valid payment option in the location.)
To enable accounting codes
1. Go to Administration > Companies.
2. On the Companies page, click the name of the company with the cost center you want to add (or
edit) to open the Manage Company page.
