                     number. When used in the General Ledger

RQX-PURCH-MAJOR      Alpha 4
Purch Major          This is the purchasing major class
                     code. This field is user defined in the
                     Inventory Control system. Entering this
                     field will limit the requester to

                     value in this field will limit the
                     requester to ordering only items within
                     this minor class within the major class.

RQX-ACTIVITY         Alpha 15
Activity             Activities are the processes or
                     procedures that produce work. Cost
                     objects (products, services, customers,
                     and so on) are the reasons for
                     performing the activity. Activities and
                     cost object activities are used
                     synonymously in the Activity Management
                     system. Direct costs are posted to
                     activities, and indirect costs are
                     allocated to activities based on
                     activity drivers.

                     Activities are grouped or organized by
                     activity levels. There are two kinds of
                     activities: "posting allowed" and
                     "summary only." Use posting level
                     activities to budget and maintain all
                     posted transactions. Summary activities
                     or macro activities combine information
                     and balances from lower level activities
                     for reporting and inquiries.

                     When you add or change a requisition
                     line distribution for a specific
                     activity, the Requisition system logic
                     checks the activity budget. If the
                     activity is assigned to an activity
                     group for which a budget is defined and
                     if the distribution will result in
                     going over the activity budget, an
                     error message displays: "Add or change
                     complete; activity budget will be
                     exceeded." This message only displays
                     prior to release of the requisition.

                     If no overage of the activity  budget
                     will result, the system creates a budget
                     commitment record when you release the
                     requisition.

RQX-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5
Account Category     Account categories are groupings of
                     costs, revenues, or a combination of
                     both used for reporting and inquiries
                     for activities in the Activity
                     Management system. All transactions are
                     posted to an account category within an
                     activity. You can assign a specific
                     General Ledger account or range of
                     accounts (company, accounting unit,
                     account, and subaccount) that make up
                     the transactions posted to an account
                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     Period-to-date, year-to-date, and
                     life-to-date balances are maintained by
                     account category for activities. Account
                     categories must be assigned to
                     activities before you do any budgeting
                     or transaction processing.

RQX-REPL-FROM-CO     Numeric 4

                     this line will be replenished.

RQX-REPL-FROM-LOC    Alpha 5

Location             the requisition location gets
                     replenished.
