Create Activity Types

After you've configured the Emission Factor Map descriptive flexfields, you must define the measure types and emission types that should be associated with the activity type.

Before you start

To perform this procedure, you must be assigned a role to access the Manage Activity Types task.

You can create an activity type as follows:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Activity Types task:
   • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management, Product Management, or Procurement
   • Functional Area: Sustainability

2. On the Activity Types page, click Add Activity Type.

3. In the New activity type drawer, from the Activity Type drop-down list, select the activity type. The context values that you had created in Create Contexts and Context-Sensitive Segments will appear as available activity types for measure type and emission type association. The Description field is automatically populated based on the value that you specified while configuring the context in the Emission Factor Map descriptive flexfield. Start date if not changed, defaults to the system date.

4. From the Scope drop-down list, select a scope for the activity type. If you select Scope 3, then you must specify the scope category.

5. Select one or more measure types and emission types from the respective drop-down lists.

6. Click Create. Or, click Create and Add Another to create more than one activity type.

   The activity type is created.

Tip: To stop using an activity type that has already been used in activities, set its end date to the last date on which it should be active. Don’t disable the corresponding descriptive flexfield context unless the activity type was created incorrectly or hasn't been used.
