ACTVs at Oregon State University An ACTV is a departmental use code for a transaction

What is an ACTV? An ACTVity is the FOAPAL element used to identify a departmental subgroup. Activity codes are not mandatory but can be used to capture additional levels of detail. Examples: Specific projects, field trips, faculty member startup funds. The 4 digit activity codes must be established in Banner before they can be used.

Activity Code Usage Activity codes are requested by and approved for a specific OSU department or unit. Only the original requesting unit may ask for termination or change of an activity code. Warnings: Activity codes are not connected (or limited) within Banner to the specific department or unit that requested the code. An activity code can be used with any Index even though they are assigned to a specific unit. Do not run reports on Activity only; always include either a Fund or ORG as well.
