This field records the percentage of the contract activity covered by this occurrence of the activity entity

All contract activity records

Each contract must have at least one activity, an associated cost centre and a proportion (Activity.ACTSOC, Activity.CCENTRE and Activity.CCPROP). The activity associated with a contract defines the role of the staff member and the cost centre indicates where that activity takes place within the higher education provider (HEP). Further information on Coding activities and cost centres is available under the 'Further guidance' section of the manual.

Where the contract only has one activity associated with it 100 should be returned.

Staff whose activity has moved from one cost centre to another within the reporting period should be reported within each relevant cost centre according to the time spent in each cost centre.

The length of this field is a maximum of 5 characters, however the move to XML enables data to be returned with or without leading zeros or the decimal place, e.g. '005.0', '5.0' or '5' are equally acceptable. Where a value is returned with decimal places, it must be rounded to the nearest 0.1 in order to conform to the five character limit.
