What Is an Activity Status Code?

Each activity requires a status code. A status code is a user-defined code that identifies the predefined Project Accounting processes valid for an activity at any given time. For example, you can define a status that allows posting, budgeting, and allocations. You can create as many statuses as necessary, and you can assign any status to any activity at any time. The following table identifies pre-defined processes you can use in status codes.


Process	Description
Post	Lets you post transactions to the activity.
Budget	Lets you define a budget for the activity.
Allocation	Lets you post allocations to the activity.
Revenue	Lets you recognize and generate revenue transactions for the activity in the Lawson Billing and Revenue Management application.
Billing	Lets you bill customers in the Lawson Billing and Revenue Management application. You must check this for a contract type activity to create billing transactions.
Capitalization	Lets you capitalize costs posted to the activity.
Purge	Lets you make the activity eligible for purging. Note: The Purge process cannot be used in combination with other processes.

Note: To make an "inactive" status, create a status code that allows none of these processes.
