• If you create subsubaccounts for subaccounts, the subsubaccounts
become the end links and identify the departments that are charged for
postage.
EXAMPLES:
Account - Engineering, Subaccount - Software,
Subsubaccount - Software Testing
Account - Engineering, Subaccount - Software,
Subsubaccount - Software Design
Account - Engineering, Subaccount - Industrial Design,
Subsubaccount - Graphics and Layout
Account - Engineering, Subaccount - Industrial Design,
Subsubaccount - User Friendly Testing
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.
This type of account structure allows you to view accounts and create
reports that show total charges for the top level account, or you can view or
create reports that show the charges for each of the subaccounts or sub-
subaccounts. This is graphically illustrated on the following page using the
above examples.
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
accounts, subaccounts and subsubaccounts when they are chargeable
accounts.
When you use an account to print postage, you are using the chargeable
account in a link of accounts (e.g., Engineering/Industrial Design/Graphics
and Layout) to draw from the meter's postage funds obtained through Post-
age 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 totals for
their subsubaccounts (e.g., Graphics and Layout and User Friendly Test-
ing) and the subsubaccounts show their individual totals.
