Working with Activity Codes

There are three types of activity codes: Global, EPS, and Project. Global activity codes can be used in all projects within the enterprise. EPS activity codes can only be used in projects that belong to a specific EPS, including its subordinate EPS nodes, if any. Project activity codes can be used only in their designated project. The EPS or project that an activity code is associated with is specified when the code is created.
