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.
