Your mailing machine has 25 standard accounts. You have the option to
increase your accounts to 100 or 300 accounts. Only your chargeable level
accounts are counted towards your account total. (Chargeable accounts
are explained in the next section.)
If you need information on how to structure your accounts, refer to the
Account Structure and Hierarchy
section in this chapter.
Account
Structure and
Hierarchy You can structure your accounts in single or multiple levels. For example,
you can divide a top level department (account) into two or more major sec-
tions or subaccounts. You can further divide these subaccounts into two or
more sections or subsubaccounts. The following examples demonstrate
some of the ways in which you can structure your accounts.
• When you create a top level account, you can charge funds and pieces
to that account. This is the working (chargeable) account because at
this point it does not have any subordinate accounts:
• If you create subaccounts for the original account, they become the end
links in the account chain and identify the departments where you dis-
perse funds:
• The original Account now serves as an administrative account that
owns and contains totals for the lower subaccounts.
• If you create subsubaccounts for subaccounts, the subsubaccounts
become the end links and identify the departments that are charged for
postage.
When accounts are linked (account/subaccount, or account/subaccount/
subsubaccount) they become a set and are treated as one separate
account, with one account number and one password. The existing
account number and password are rolled down to the subaccount when the
first subaccount is created. When you create another subaccount to this
account, you create another linked set of accounts with a different account
number and password.
