Adding a Base Calendar

Access the Working Hours Detail - Base form.

Shift

Enter a user-defined code (00/SH) that identifies daily work shifts. Complete this field only if the base calendar is specific to resources during a specific shift.

Day of Week

Enter a code to specify the days of the week for which the working hours that are associated with this calendar apply. If you do not specify a day of the week, the system uses 0 (zero). Values are:

0: Assign base or resource working hours to every day of the week.

1: Assign base or resource working hours to Monday.

2: Assign base or resource working hours to Tuesday.

3: Assign base or resource working hours to Wednesday.

4: Assign base or resource working hours to Thursday.

5: Assign base or resource working hours to Friday.

6: Assign base or resource working hours to Saturday.

7: Assign base or resource working hours to Sunday.

9: Override working hours for a specific date. If you want to define an override value for a specific date, enter 9 in the Day of Week field. Doing so enables the Date field. You might use this option to enter an override number of working hours for a company holiday.

Override Reason

Enter a code to indicate the reason for the working hours override. For example, to specify that the override is due to a company holiday, enter HOL. Values are stored in UDC 48/RC.

Date

Enter the override date for a base calendar entry in this field. This field is enabled only if you enter 9 in the Day of Week field. For example, if resources are typically available for 8 hours on Mondays, but a company holiday falls on a Monday, you can create a base calendar for the holiday by entering 9 in the Day of Week field, entering the date of the holiday in this field, and entering 0 in both the Start Time and End Time fields.

Start Time

Enter the start time that the system uses to calculate available hours for the day. This field is currently not used when you are scheduling tasks.

The default values for this field come from the resource assignment constants for business unit ALL. You can override this value.

End Time

Enter the finish time that the system uses to calculate available hours for the day. This field is currently not used when you are scheduling tasks.

The default values for this field come from the resource assignment constants for business unit ALL. You can override this value.

Hours Available

Review the number of hours that a resource is available for scheduling on a single day. The system calculates available hours for the start and end times that you entered.
