Defining activity status codes (AC/BR)

A status code identifies the processes that are valid for an activity at any given time. You can create as many status codes as you need, and you can assign any status to any activity at any time.

After you have defined an activity use Activity Copy (AC110) or Account Category Copy (AC115) to reduce the total time required for maintenance.

  1. Access Status (AC02.1).
  2. In the Status field, specify a unique code to identify the status.
  3. In the Description field, specify a description of the status code.
  4. To select the processes valid for the status code, specify X in one of these fields:
    Post (Posting)

    Select to post transactions to the activity.

    Budget (Budgets)

    Select to define and maintain activity budgets.

    Alloc (Allocations)

    Select to process allocations involving the activity.

    Rev (Revenue)

    If you use the Lawson Billing and Revenue Management applications, then selecting this allows you to recognize and generate revenue transactions for the activity.

    Bill (Billing)

    If you use the Lawson Billing and Revenue Management application, then selecting this allows you to create billing transactions. You must check this for a contract type activity.

    Cap (Capitalization)

    Select to capitalize costs posted to the activity, and to create asset(s) in Asset Management.

    Purge (Purge)

    Select to purge an activity.

    Note: If you select Purge, then you must leave all other process fields blank.
