56.1 Setting Up the Work Day Calendar

Navigation

From Sales Order Management (G42), choose hidden selection 29

From Sales Order Management Setup (G4241), choose Work Day Calendar Setup

You set up the work day calendar to meet your specific business needs. You enter and maintain work day calendars by calendar type. For example, you might set up a calendar specifically for a branch/plant or depot in which you record the days that the branch/plant or depot is closed, such as weekends, holidays, or planned shutdowns. When the dispatcher builds trips, the system uses the information you set up in the work day calendar to track valid work days.
