Activity             Activities are the 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 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 kinds 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.
