Accounting Codes allow you to categorize groups of email messages for your account. This feature is typically used for internal "bill back" processes between departments, but you can use this whenever you want to group email messages.

You can also generate a monthly report to see how many email messages were sent, by accounting code, for that month.

Accounting Codes notes

Below are a few things to note about Accounting Codes.

• The system does not provide or generate these codes; they are internal and unique to your organization.
• Accounting code names can contain letters, numerals, and special characters.
• Accounting code names that start with a special character will be listed first, followed by those that start with a numeral, and then an alphabetized list.
