AC19


AC19.1 - Multiple Activity Speed Add

Use Activity (AC10.1) to define and maintain activities. Activities identify
the actual tasks being performed for the activity group or overall project
defined in Activity Group (AC00.1). Activities are project related and
typically identify project phases, tasks, or funding sources.You must define
an activity before you can define activity budgets and process transactions.

- Use the Main page to define activity parameters. Use the POP button to set
up period of performance date tolerances for the activity on Activity Period
of Performance (AC10.6).

- Use the Levels page to define an activity type and location within the
activity structure.

- Use the Award page to define award information used with the Lawson Grant
Management application.

- Use the Defaults page to define asset default location and division. (If
the Asset Edit is Yes on for the Activity Group, these fields are required.)

AC19.2 - Optional

Use Location Assignment (AC10.2) to assign an address code to an activity. An
address code contains address and communication information for the activity.
For example, you can identify where the activity is being performed and the
contact information for the person responsible for the activity. Address codes
are defined in AC10.4 (Address Code).

AC19.3 - Defaults

Use Activity Asset (AC10.3) to define and maintain the parameters used to
capitalize activity costs in the Lawson Asset Management application. This
process is referred to as capitalization. You can capitalize accumulated
activity costs to one asset or multiple assets.

NOTE  You can only use AC10.3 if you use both the Lawson Project and Activity
Accounting and Asset Management systems.


**More Information
Consider the following when setting up activities to be capitalized:

- Define activity asset information on AC10.3. Parameters can be defined for
a posting activity and detail account category, or for all detail account
categories associated with a posting activity.

- Account categories containing costs you want to capitalize must be flagged
to allow capitalization by setting the Cap field to Y on Account Category
Structure Detail (AC08.3), or on Override Account Categories (AC06.1).

- The activity status must allow capitalization. Use Status (AC02.1) and
select the Cap field. Then assign that status on Activity (AC10.1). You can
use combine codes to create one asset from multiple activities and account
categories. Assign the same combine code, asset template, asset description,
tag, hold code, and asset group. If you use activities to accumulate repair or
maintenance costs on existing assets, you can use the Repair tab to track
those costs with the asset in Asset Management. The costs do not add to the
asset's value, and are tracked only as information.
