Object ID            This is the object identifier. It is        GL191   GL199
                     used to relate commitments or posted        GL45.1  IFGT.1
                     transactions back to the originating        SL40.1
                     subsystems. Each subsystem record that
                     is updated as a commitment or posted
                     transaction is assigned an object
                     identifier. The object identifier is
                     maintained in the subsystem files and in
                     the Activity Commitments Detail and
                     Activity Transaction files. The object
                     identifier is a unique key used to drill
                     back from Activity Management to the
                     subsystems.

Activity             Activities are the processes or             GL191   GL199
                     procedures that produce work. Cost          GL45.1  IFGT.1
                     objects (products, services, customers,     SL40.1
                     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.

Account Category     Account categories are groupings of         GL191   GL199
                     costs, revenues, or a combination of        GL45.1  IFGT.1
                     both used for reporting and inquiries       SL40.1
                     for activities in the 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.
