Usage

Load Holidays Page

RUN_RS_HOLIDAY

Load or update holidays on all resource schedules.

Monthly Schedule Page

RS_SCHED_MONTH

Load holidays on individual resource schedules.

Before running the Holiday Load process, you must establish at least one holiday for every Holiday Schedule (HOLIDAY_SCHEDULE) that is assigned to eligible resources (employees and non-employees), and every resource must be assigned a holiday schedule on the Job record (JOB).

Use the Load Holidays page (RUN_RS_HOLIDAY) to load or update holidays on all resource schedules.

Navigation:

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Resources Data > Load Holidays

The duration of each holiday that is added to resource schedules is specified in the appropriate holiday calendar. If the calendar does not specify the duration, the holiday hours are based on the calendar options that are defined on the Holiday Hours From field on the Resource Setup-Common Installation Options page.

See Setting Up Resources.

The Holiday Load process associates the SCHEDULED_HOLIDAY task category with all holidays on the holiday schedule that is defined on the Holiday Schedule Table component (RS_CM_HOLIDAY_CMPT).

Note: If PeopleSoft Program Management is installed, or the Do not schedule assignments on Holidays option is selected on the Installation Options - Resource Management page, the system does not schedule resource assignments during a holiday that has a Scheduled Holiday task category.

Refreshing Holidays

If you integrate with PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (PeopleSoft HCM), you must run the Holiday Load process at installation and when you add a new year to the holiday schedule. For other routine changes, application messages are used to monitor changes to the holiday schedule in the employee source database (HCM).

If you do not integrate with PeopleSoft HCM, you must run the Holiday Load process when you:

  • Install PeopleSoft Resource Management.

  • Change, add or delete one or more holidays on the holiday schedule.

  • Add a new year of holidays to the holiday schedule.

  • Change the Do not schedule assignments on Holidays option on the Installation Options - Resource Management page.

The Holiday Load process applies changes to a resource schedule if the resource's holiday schedule is affected.

Use the Monthly Schedule page (RS_SCHED_MONTH) to load holidays on individual resource schedules.

Navigation:

  • Resource Management > Maintain Schedules > Rvw Resource Monthly Schedule

  • Resource Management > Maintain Schedules > My Monthly Schedule > Monthly Schedule

Click the Update Employee's Holidays button to run the Holiday Load process and update the holidays on this individual's resource schedule.
