code analytique

English translation: analytical accounting code

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / phone usage policy
French term or phrase: code analytique
From a list of conditions for a company phone policy:

En cas de changement d’affectation, de métier, la nouvelle Hiérarchie, le nouveau CF doivent impérativement valider la nécessité de conserver la ligne téléphonique et autoriser le changement de code analytique auprès de [company name]

I can't think of anything for 'code analytique' that makes much sense - 'analytical code' seems too vague - I thought it might be cost centre, but I already have cost centres (centres de couts) in the same doc.

English translation:analytical accounting code
Explanation:
To me, this is talking about a member of staff being transferred from one business unit to another within the company. The person's phone number is transferred, but the analytical accounting code has to be changed because the cost of the person's phone calls now come under a different BU.

analytics code (see explanation)


Explanation:
In the websphere:
You Analytics code is what you use to help track your site traffic through Google Analytics

Elsewhere:
The simplest definition of Analytics is "the science of analysis". A simple and practical definition, however, would be how an entity (i.e., business) arrives at an optimal or realistic decision based on existing data. Business managers may choose to make decisions based on past experiences or rules of thumb, or there might be other qualitative aspects to decision making; but unless there are data involved in the process, it would not be considered analytics.

Common applications of Analytics include the study of business data using statistical analysis in order to discover and understand historical patterns with an eye to predicting and improving business performance in the future. Also, some people use the term to denote the use of mathematics in business. Others hold that field of analytics includes the use of Operations Research, Statistics and Probability. However, it would be erroneous to limit the field of analytics to only statistics and mathematics.

Analytics closely resembles statistical analysis and data mining, but tends to be based on modeling involving extensive computation. Some fields within the area of analytics are enterprise decision management, marketing analytics, predictive science, strategy science, credit risk analysis and fraud analytics.

  -> Thank you, Fourth!

neutral  eric sawyer: It's a cost code and its used in cost accounting (sometimes also called analytical accounting), so you can say it's an "analytical accounting code", but this is more of a general description than the real term in English

cost centre


Explanation:
This doubtless varies from one company to another, but 'cost centre' was the term my company used in the UK. The overall task of collating and assigning costs was called 'analytical accounting' ("compatibilité analytique") as against 'management accounting' and 'tax accounting', etc., very different specialities.
