The Diners Club Corporate system allows you to structure your Account to include up to four different billing/reporting levels. Your organization can use these levels to customize Management Information System reporting on your Account activity. The system is very flexible, and enables your organization to change its reporting structure over time. The Account Structure is an integral part of any Diners Club program, and usually is given a great deal of attention during the Implementation Process.
You should consider that how you structure your Accounts will affect your organization's ability to receive and interpret data. Some of the issues you should address include:
- What benefits do you hope to receive from data Reporting?
- What do you plan to do with the information?
- Who in your organization will require MIS information on T&E spending?
- What spending categories are most significant to your organization? Where is that spending usually concentrated? In a department? In a geographic location?
- Will you need information by city, state or regional offices?
- Do you want summary spending information at a headquarters level?
- Do you require very detailed information at a specific cost center level?
Your Diners Club Representative will work with you to find answers to these and other questions to help determine the optimal Account Structure for your organization. Your Representative will also help you to use Indicative Data for reporting purposes, in conjunction with a sound Account Structure. Typically, it's best to build your Account Structure around your organization's billing needs, and to use Indicative Data to meet your data reporting needs.
