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
                     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.

User Analysis        This field identifies the user analysis     GL191   GL199
                     values included in the transaction.         GL45.1  IFGT.1

                     You can either type up to four values
                     or use Define (F6) to open the User
                     Analysis Entry subform. Use this subform
                     to select the user analysis values you
                     want to include in the transaction. If
                     you choose to type values, use commas to
                     separate them. For example:
                     value1,value2,value3,value4

                     There are three conditions that affect
                     how you can select user analysis values.
                     See the User Analysis Entry form help or
                     the Strategic Ledger procedures manual
                     for additional information.
