AC02


AC02.1 - Status

Use AC02.1 (Status) to define and maintain status codes for an activity.
Status is a user-defined code that identifies the processes an activity can
perform. You assign a status to an activity in AC10.1 (Activity).

You can allow an activity to do the following:

Status            Description
------            -----------
Post              All subsystems can post to the activity. (Note: All
                  subsystems edit this status. For example, if you do not
                  select this option for an activity, you can not create a
                  journal entry in the General Ledger system for that
                  activity.
Budget            You can define a budget for the activity.
Allocation        You can post allocations to the activity.
Revenue           Post revenue against the activity.
Billing           The activity may be billed.
Capitalization    Costs posted to the activity may be capitalized.
Purge             Records may be purged for the activity.

Note: Each status may have a combination of processes, except purge. The purge
process cannot be used in combination with other processes.

Optional Programs
-----------------
Use AC12.1 (Activity Status) to display each activity assigned to each status.

Run AC112 (Mass Activity Status Change) to change the status for multiple
activity groups, activities, or an activity list at one time.
Run AC202 (Status Listing) to list all statuses and the processes associated
with them.
