Setting Up Activity-Related Information

To set up activity-related information, use these components:

Activity Types (PROJ_ACTIVITY_TYPE).
Activity Type Status Path (PC_ACTSTATCTL_PNLG).
Quality Types (PROJ_QUALITY_DEFN).
Define Standard Activities (FS_ACTIVITY_TBL).

Use the PC_STD_ACT_INTFC component interface to load data into the tables for the FS_ACTIVITY_TBL component.

This topic discusses how to:

Define activity types.
Define activity type status paths.
Define standard activities.

Activity Types Page

Use the Activity Types page (PROJ_ACT_DEFN) to create activity types.

Navigation

select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, then select Product Related, then select Project Costing, then select Activity Options, then select Activity Types, then select Activity Types

Image: Activity Types page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Activity Types page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Activity type labels identify and group activities to facilitate analysis and reporting on similar activities across projects.

Status

Select the status that determines the availability of an activity type.

Use Status Path

Select to enforce the predefined progression of statuses for activities of this type.

Activity Type Status Path Page

Use the Activity Type Status Path page (PC_ACT_STATCTL_PNL) to define the status path for activities.

Navigation

select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, then select Product Related, then select Project Costing, then select Activity Options, then select Activity Type Status Path, then select Activity Type Status Path

You must define status types before you define activity type status paths. Activities use the same status type data that you define at the project level.

The procedure to define activity type status paths is the same as the procedure to define status paths for projects.

See Project Type Status Paths.

Standard Activities Page

Use the Standard Activities page (FS_ACTVITY_TBL1) to create and modify standard activities.

Navigation

select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, then select Common Definitions, then select Activities, then select Define Activities, then select Standard Activities

Image: Standard Activities page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Standard Activities page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this page to predefine activities that users can assign to projects.

Standard activities are keyed by SetID and based on project type. To enable standard activity functionality, select the Standard Activities check box on the Project Costing Definition page for a project. Using standard activities is optional.

Project Type

Enter a project type to restrict the use of this standard activity to projects that have the selected project type and have Standard Activities selected on the Project Costing Definition page. This field appears if you select Projects in the Used By group box.

Leave this field blank for this standard activity to be available to add to any project that does not have a project type assigned.
