FI-SL Master Data: Activities 

Use

Each SAP application or external system, which sends data to the Integration Manager, transfers the data into the FI-SL System with a corresponding activity. An activity classifies each source of data sent to the Integration Manager and groups together data that is to be processed the same way.

Common activities are grouped together (for example, all Materials Management (MM) activities), so that it is no longer important for you to assign a specific activity to a ledger. You simply assign the activity group code to a ledger, and the system automatically assigns the relevant activities.

You can select a ledger for update based on a particular activity or group of activities. Selection of an activity can be further restricted by defining selection conditions that are based on system values. This is done by entering selection conditions for a ledger.

For more information about assigning activities to a ledger, defining selection criteria for posting to a ledger, and assigning activities from SAP applications to FI-SL, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger. For a description of possible activities that can be posted to FI-SL, see the "Activity Descriptions" Release Note.
