The Activity Information page allows you to filter and modify Activities that you wish to enter pledges and remittances. Remittance allows received remittance payments posted to a child, or associated sub-activity, to satisfy a parent activity’s pledge amount. The remittance’s pledges will show correctly during the entry process as well as on monthly statements.

•Parent Activity: Parent Activity is only used when adding a Sub-Activity. An Activity can have multiple Sub-Activities.
•Sequence: It is recommended that you group activities for each Total Level in separate number ranges. Below are suggested number ranges for each Total Level although you may number them any way that you wish.
(e.g., 001000 - 001999 for Total Level 1, 002000 - 002999 for Total Level 2, and so forth)
NOTE: When a Parent Activity is selected, the Sequence number determines the Sub-Activity display order in the Remittance Entry screen.
•Name: Type the description of the activity.
NOTE: When Parent Activity is selected, the name entered is Sub-Activity name.
•Active?: Click the check box to mark the activity as Active.
•Total Level: Select the Total Level for the activity. The Total Levels are used to group and subtotal various types of activities when printing Statements (e.g., Conference Apportionments, World Service & Conference, Missions, and so forth).
NOTE: Activities having Total Level 1 will automatically print in columns across the page when the Status Report for Apportionments is run. Make sure that you only put Total Level 1 on the activities to be included on the Apportionments report.

•Can Pledge be Made?: Click the box if pledges are allowed for the activity.
NOTE: Make sure the check box is unchecked if adding a Sub-Account.
•Priority Activity: Priority Activities will show by default on Remittance entries internally and on the portal. Users that have pledges, can also show non-pledged activities on the Entry screen. The non-pledged activities will display on the entry screen and Portal as a group below the pledged activities. Sort order for each group (pledged and non-pledged) is by sequence number.
NOTE: If pledges were created prior to the Pledge Option being removed from an Activity and the Pledge is still active, then it will show as a pledge on the Church record when entering Remittances, even if the Activity is now marked Priority.
Assign General Ledger accounts to the activity. Each activity can be allocated to one or more General Ledger accounts.
