Activity Information

The Activity Information tab of the ARRAD transaction allows you to enter multiple ARRA Activity values associated with an ongoing record. If the record on the Ongoing Award tab already exists on the Ongoing Award Information table, then all ARRA Activity records associated with the ongoing record are loaded when Load Values is selected. You can then add new ARRA Activity records or delete existing records. Note: Records deleted from this tab are not deleted from the ARRA Activity tab of the Ongoing Award Information table. A record must exist on the Ongoing Award tab of the ARRAD transaction (Record Type can be New or Existing) before a record can be added to this tab.

The Activity Information tab of the ARRAD transaction contains the following section:

The following fields are required if a new ARRA Activity record is being added:

Record Type = New
ARRA Activity Code
ARRA Activity Description

The Record Type should be set to New, if the record being added does not exist on the Ongoing Award Information table. The Record Type should be set to Existing, if the record being added already exists on the Ongoing Award Information table. If the Record Type is left blank, Advantage will default the value to Existing.

Note: At least one ARRA Activity Code (and no more than 10) is required to submit a quarterly ARRA Reporting extract file to recovery.gov. This edit is enforced by the ARRA Extract batch process.
