Activity Types 
Use
The activity type selects a concrete characteristic for a data transfer object.
Prerequisites
There are several activity types. However, most of the application programs do not use the activity type.
Features
For the G/L accounts, you can work with either a hierarchical or a flat transfer file. This option is controlled by the activity type.
- For material BOMs, the activity type determines whether the material BOM is created or changed, whether it creates a variant BOM or whether long texts are also transferred.
- For other data transfer objects, the activity type determines whether the program uses direct input or batch input (fixed assets, for example).
- For vendor masters, the activity type determines whether it is a general transfer or an IS-Retail transfer.
