The manufacturing calendar defines a 13-period year, made up of seven-day weeks. The periods are divided into three quarters of three periods each and one quarter of four periods. Each period has four weeks, with the exception of one period, which can have an extra week if the year has 53 weeks.
When you define the 13 periods, you specify which quarter has the extra period. If the year has 53 weeks, you must specify which period will have the extra week. If you specify that the year starts on a specific date, you must indicate whether the year has 52 or 53 weeks.
The week definition determines on how to divide the calendar year into weeks. You can adjust the week definition in order to make a 52- or 53-week year.
