Activity Period of Performance (AC10.6)

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.

Date ranges are assigned to an activity group or activity, and specify the time period during which the activities in the activity group are valid. However, you might incur setup costs for an activity before the activity actually begins. Similarly, you might need to enter transactions for a project after the project has been completed. Use Activity Period of Performance (AC10.6) establish date tolerances during which you can enter activity transactions outside of the date range.

Like date ranges, periods of performance can be assigned at either the activity group or activity level. Periods of performance are managed by system code for the activity or activity group so you can restrict the applications for which transactions can be entered during the period of performance. For example, you might allow transactions for Requisitions (RQ), but for no others.

More Information

Use the Begin Days and End Days fields to enter the 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 end of an 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).
