Description

Sequence

The system increments the sequence number, which tracks incremental changes in status. By using a sequence number in combination with the status effective date, multiple status changes can occur on the same day.

Status

Select the activity status that corresponds to the status effective date. Available options are based on the values that you enter on the Status Types page during implementation.

See Status Types Page.
