Activity Override
There are two parts to this feature that work in conjunction to supply information to an external interface, which sends a file of active chart of account combinations to an external timekeeping system in order for users to select only valid values so accounting activity interfaced back does not fail for budget errors or many common chart of account errors.
Activity OverrideActivity Override
The Activity Override (ACTOV) page contains a listing of all active budget lines from Budget Structure 51 at level 3 that meet selection criteria read by the Activity Override Batch job that have had manual updates for Sub Activity, Program, and Phase. The interface file is built from this data.
Activity Override BatchActivity Override Batch
This batch process is used to build data on the Activity Override page in the Active mode. The Deactivate mode is used to update records to an inactive status when chart of accounts on them have been deactivated on the respective reference page. The process also produces a report of these activities.
