Activity Type
Also known as Activity Code. A categorization of work effort. Typically work effort is
categorized as productive or non-productive; Repair, Maintenance, Enhancement, or
Improvement; or Development or Construction. Activity type is usually required to support
cost accounting or financial accounting (recording) functions. It may also be required to
support some organizational administration requirements such as organizational productivity
goals, or employee performance measurement. In some companies, activity type is inferred
from job function, work group affiliation, or organization.
