52.1 Setting Up the Work Day Calendar

Navigation

From Load and Delivery Management (G49), enter 29

From Load and Delivery System Setup (G4941), 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 depot in which you record the days that the 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.

The work day calendar used by the Trip Maintenance program has a type of blank.
