The Activity Information page allows you to filter and modify Activities for entering pledges and remittances. Remittance allows received remittance payments to be posted to a child or associated sub-activity to satisfy a parent activity's pledge amount. The remittance pledges will appear correctly during the entry process and on monthly statements.

Activity Information Update
- Parent Activity: Used only when adding a Sub-Activity. An Activity can have multiple Sub-Activities.
- Sequence: Group activities for each Total Level in separate number ranges (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 a Parent Activity is selected, the name entered is the Sub-Activity name.
- Active?: Click the check box to mark the activity as Active.
- Total Level: Select the Total Level for the activity. Total Levels are used to group and subtotal various activity types when printing Statements (e.g., Conference Apportionments, World Service & Conference, Missions, and so forth). Note: Activities with Total Level 1 automatically print in columns across the page when the Status Report for Apportionments is run. Only assign Total Level 1 to activities to be included on the Apportionments report.
- Bank Account: Choose the bank account from the drop-down list.
- Online Name: Type an abbreviated name for the bank account to display online.
- Starting Date:
- Ending Date:
- Can a 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 are displayed by default on Remittance entries, both internally and on the portal. Users with pledges can also view non-pledged activities on the Entry screen. Non-pledged activities display on the entry screen and portal as a group below pledged activities. Sort order for each group (pledged and non-pledged) is by sequence number. Note: If pledges were created before the Pledge Option was removed from an Activity and the pledge is still active, it will appear as a pledge on the Church record when entering Remittances, even if the Activity is now marked Priority.
