Overview of Accounting

An accounting feature on a mailing system allows you to track

your postage costs by categories. These categories can represent

whatever makes sense to your organization - departments, people,

locations, projects, etc. In more advanced accounting features (such

as INVIEW™Accounting), you can further categorize your costs

using subaccounts, and even subsubaccounts.

Tracking your mailing expenses with categories allows you to

manage your postal costs in a more efficient manner by knowing who

(or what department) is using what type of postage to ship what type

of mail.

The information in this manual describes how to set up the INVIEW™

Accounting option. With this model of mailing machine, you also

have a choice of using the Standard accounting package.

INVIEW™Accounting and INVIEW™Meter Reporting

Besides the INVIEW™Accounting reports and information you can

run from your machine, there is a optional web-based solution

available from Pitney Bowes that allows you to view and consolidate

meter usage from multiple machines in your organization. This

solution is called INVIEW™Meter Reporting and is accessible from

the Pitney Bowes website when you logon to My Account.

The INVIEW™Meter Reporting system allows you to view and

analyze your postage meter activity for one meter, one location,

or across your entire enterprise. The meter activity for each meter

is transferred to the INVIEW™Meter Reporting system whenever

you connect your meter to the Pitney Bowes Data Center to refill

postage, check on available funds in your Postage By Phone

account, or during other inspection or maintenance processes.

The system provides a series of charts and reports that summarize

the usage activities from selected meters for user-defined periods of

time. The charts and reports are organized into different page tabs

that group similar information together to keep web site navigation

simple.

Charts and reports are generated using standardized input fields that

allow you to select a specific report and specify a date range and

meter selection to determine what information is to be displayed. You

also have the ability to export your information to print format (PDF),

spreadsheet format (Excel), and standard CSV (comma separated

variable) file format.

In addition, the system provides a comprehensive set of user-defined

preferences you can use to tell the system how to group and identify

each of your postage meters. You can:

• Assign meaningful customized names to identify your meters

and to identify the locations at which they are installed

• Create meter groups that enable you to easily select and

view information from meters that perform similar roles across

locations

• Assign a reference code to each meter that will allow you to

associate usage information (pieces and postage cost) to an

internal reference such as a chargeback code or purchase order

number.

Accounting Reports Option of INVIEW™Meter Reporting

The Accounting Reports option within the INVIEW™Meter Reporting

system offers unparalleled flexibility in accessing and presenting in-

formation about where, how, and when postage is used within your

organization, based on account information. Like meter activity, the

account activity for each meter is transferred to the INVIEW™Meter

Reporting system whenever you connect your meter to the Pitney

Bowes Data Center to refill postage, check on available funds in your

Postage By Phone account, or during other inspection or mainte-

nance processes.

The Accounting Reports option can support account information up-

loaded from mailing machines using INVIEW™Accounting, Budget

Manager, or Business Manager accounting systems.

The Accounting Reports option allows you to see:

• the most used accounts by mail pieces and or postage. These

results can be displayed as a stacked bar chart or as a table.

• the number of pieces and total dollars charged to each account.

The total charged includes the postage, additional fees such as

delivery confirmation, and any surcharges applied by the mail cen-

ter. Subtotals are provided for subaccounts and subsubaccounts.

• the details for each mail class within each account. This includes

the number of pieces, total charged to each account, and break-

down of total charged as postage, additional fees such as deliv-

ery confirmation, and any surcharges applied by the mail center.

• the average cost per piece at different locations over the time

period selected. Pieces from all meters at each location are in-

cluded in the average.

• the details on specific transactions. This includes each transac-

tion, or batch of mail, grouped at the lowest level of account.

Transaction details also include the class of mail selected for

the batch (or the class determined by Weigh and Dimension on

the Way), the number of pieces processed, the postage, fees,

surcharge, total cost allocated, and the time each transaction

started and ended.

On most reports, the results for a selected time period can be

compared to another time period for instant comparison.
