AC10


AC10.1 - Activity

**Form Purpose
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). An activity can represent services,
channels, customers, products, and so on.

You must define an activity before you can define activity budgets and post
transactions.

- Use the Main page to select the activity group the activity belongs to, a
base currency for the activity, and other information about the activity. Use
the POP button to set up period of performance date tolerances for the
activity group on Activity Period of Performance (AC10.6).

- Use the Levels page to define an activity level address.

- Use the Award page to define award information related to 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.)

AC10.2 - Location Assignment

**Form Purpose
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).

AC10.3 - Activity Asset

**Form Purpose
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.

AC10.4 - Location

**Form Purpose
Use Location (AC10.4) to define an address code. An address code contains
address and communication information. You assign an address code to an
activity on AC10.2 (Location Assignment).

You can assign an address code to more than one activity. For example, you
can identify where the activity is being performed and the contact information
for the person responsible for the activity.

AC10.5 - Mass Activity Move

**Form Purpose
Use Mass Activity Move (AC10.5) to move a summary or detail activity to a new
activity group or summary activity. If you move a summary activity, all detail
activities associated with the summary activity are moved. You can move one
summary activity to another summary activity.

AC10.6 - Activity Period of Performance

**Form Purpose
Use Activity Period of Performance (AC10.6) to set up date tolerances for an
activity group or activity. You can set up date tolerances for each system
code for which transactions are allowed outside the activity's normal date
range.

**More Information
Use the Begin Days and End Days fields to enter the specific number of days
before or after the activity date range that transactions are allowed. The
number of Begin Days is subtracted from the activity or activity group's Date
Range, while the End Days is added to the activity or activity group's Date
Range. If left blank, the Date fields are automatically updated based on the
number you enter in Begin Days or End Days. If you enter a Date along with a
Begin Days or End Days value, the Begin Days or End Days will override the
Date entry.

The POP Template field allows you to select a date tolerance template that
has been defined for a system code on Period of Performance Template (AC10.7).

AC10.7 - Period of Performance Template

**Form Purpose
Use Period of Performance Template (AC10.7) to create period of performance
templates for system codes. The template specifies the Begin Days and End Days
to use for the system code. The number of Begin Days is subtracted from the
activity or activity group's Date Range, while the End Days is added to the
activity or activity group's Date Range.
