GCX-ACTIVITY-GRP     Alpha 15                                    AC120   AC191
Activity Group       Required key. An activity group or          AC580   AC980
                     activity center is a group of activities
                     related by process or function. An
                     activity group is the highest entity for
                     which you can inquire and report on
                     costs, revenues, and budgets in the
                     Activity Management system.

                     An activity group is set up to budget
                     for, report on, process, and store
                     information common to one or more
                     activities. You must set up an activity
                     group before you can set up activities,
                     budgets, transactions, and inquiries. To
                     collect costs and revenues, at least one
                     activity must be linked to an activity
                     group.

GCX-ACTIVITY         Alpha 15                                    AC120   AC191
Activity             Required key. Activities are the            AC580   AC980
                     processes or procedures that produce
                     work. Cost objects (products, services,
                     customers, and so on) are the reasons
                     for performing the activity. Activities
                     and cost object activities are used
                     synonymously in the Lawson Activity
                     Management system. Direct costs are
                     posted to activities, and indirect costs
                     are allocated to activities based on
                     activity drivers.

                     Activities are grouped or organized by
                     activity levels. There are two types of
                     activities: "posting allowed" and
                     "summary only." Use posting level
                     activities to budget and maintain all
                     posted transactions. Summary activities
                     or macro activities combine information
                     and balances from lower level activities
                     for reporting and inquiries.

GCX-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5                                     AC120   AC191
Account Category     Required key. Account categories are        AC580   AC980
                     groupings of costs, revenues, or a
                     combination of both used for reporting
                     and inquiries for activities in the
                     Lawson Activity Management system. All
                     transactions are posted to an account
                     category within an activity. You can
                     assign a specific General Ledger account
                     or range of accounts (company,
                     accounting unit, account, and
                     subaccount) that make up the
                     transactions posted to an account
                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     Period-to-date, year-to-date, and
                     life-to-date balances are maintained by
                     account category for activities. Account
                     categories must be assigned to
                     activities before you do any budgeting
                     or transaction processing.

                     unit the transaction was posted to in
                     the general ledger. An accounting unit
                     is a shorthand notation representing the
                     variable level number. The accounting
                     unit must be defined in the General
                     Ledger Names file as a posting
                     accounting unit.
