Start of Day Business Rules

Simphony has business rules to determine how and when a business day can begin, and which business day is beginning. The rules exist for both automatic and manual Start of Day (SOD).

When starting a new business day, the following rules apply:

• SOD cannot be run twice in 8 hours.

• SOD cannot be run twice between midnight and noon.

• SOD cannot be run twice between noon and midnight.

• When a business day is scheduled to run automatically, it is not possible to start the business day manually with a PC Autosequence.

A business day is calculated based on noon (12:00 p.m.) to noon times.

• If SOD is run before noon, Simphony assumes the business day completed is for the previous calendar day. (If SOD runs at 3:05 a.m. on the 17th, the 16th is the business day that is closing, and the 17th is the business day being started.)

• If SOD is run after noon, Simphony assumes the business day completed is for the current calendar day. (If SOD is run at 11:52 p.m. on the 17th, the 17th is the business day that is closing, and the 18th is the business day being started.)
