AP178 - AP Activity Update

**Form Purpose
Run AP Activity Update (AP178) after running Payment Closing (AP170) or
Invoice Distribution Closing (AP175) to list the transactions affected by the
payment status updates. You can list all updates, only payment updates to a
Paid status, or only payment updates to a Not Paid status. The list is by Post
Thru date or by date range. You can run this form anytime you run AP170 or
AP175. You must run this form at least once per closing period.

To get an update on status changes on activities, it is recommended that you
also run AP178 after Invoice Reinstatement (AP190), AP190 with Invoice Cancel
(AP30.4), and Distribution Adjustments (AP30.2).

**Processing Effect
An Accounts Payable API program is used to pool APDISTRIB records with
activities "requiring payment information." The activities check to determine
if invoices related to distributions have been paid. If so, the Activity
Management API removes the hold-not-paid status from ACTRANS records. When
AP178 is run, the output reflects the selected transactions and lists those
that have been modified.
