You set up workday calendars for financials to specify which days are workdays, holidays, and so on. You can set up different workday calendars for each business unit (branch) of your company, or set up one calendar as the default for all of your business units. You may want to set up calendars at the same time that you set up the fiscal date patterns for the system.

In the United Kingdom, the system uses the workday calendars that you specify to determine valid processing and expiration dates for your automatic debits. The system also uses the calendars for other processes to define valid due dates.

When you initially set up a workday calendar, the system automatically specifies all weekdays as workdays and all Saturdays and Sundays as non-workdays. You can accept these values or change the days to suit your business needs.

Note:

The system displays two calendars on the Workday Calendar screen. The calendar on the left displays the actual calendar days for the month and year. The calendar on the right displays the workdays and non-workdays that you have defined for the month and year.

6.1.1 What You Should Know About

Code Explanation
Valid day types J.D. Edwards provides predefined day type codes (user defined code 00/DT), such as E for Weekend and H for Holiday. With the exception of Work day (W), which is hard coded, you can use these codes, revise them, or add additional codes for non-work days.

See Work with User Defined Codes in the JD Edwards World Technical Foundation Guide for more information about user defined codes.
Deleting a calendar If you delete a calendar for a month and year, the calendar record no longer exists. When you inquire on a calendar for a month and year that does not exist, the system displays the calendar with default values. You can change the values as necessary and then add the calendar as a new record.
