Diagnostic codes are codes that represent the problem or symptom observed by the technician.
Service codes are codes that represent the the action that must be taken to resolve the problem as well as any optional actions.
Example:
A car is brought in for repair, and the repair technician notes that the oil filter is leaking (OFL01 - Diagnostic Code). Changing the Oil Filter (CHO01 - Service Code) resolves the issue.
Why the Line Category is set at Transaction Level?
A Service Activity is operating Unit-specific. The Line Category is set at transaction level to prevent the use of a single Service Activity as an order in one operating unit and a return in another.
