unit of the direct activity that triggers the indirect activity. If
necessary, change the sequence of activities.

order in which they are processed. In such a log format, you should
define the characteristics in the following sequence:
Group (breakdown: default)
Group currency key (breakdown: default)
Sequence number (breakdown: yes)
Activity (breakdown: no)
Activity number (breakdown: default)
Investee unit (breakdown: no)
