Setting Up Shop Floor Calendars

Access the Work With Workday Calendar form.

Branch/Plant

Enter a code that represents a high-level business unit. Use this code to refer to a branch or plant that might have departments or jobs, which represent lower-level business units, subordinate to it. For example:

Branch/Plant (MMCU)

Dept A (MCU)

Dept B (MCU)

Job 123 (MCU)

Business unit security is based on the higher-level business unit.

With the exception of ALL, which is a hard-coded value for the program, the branch/plant that you assign must exist in the Business Unit Master table (F0006).

Calendar Year

Enter a two-digit number that corresponds to a calendar year.

Calendar Month

Enter a number that corresponds to the month in a calendar year.

Calendar Type (optional to specify unique calendars for the same branch/plant)

Enter a value from UDC 42/WD (Work Day Calendar Type) that specifies how the calendar is used. For example, the calendar might be specific to an industry such as banking or it might be used to schedule delivery persons for a route.

Note: If you use the default value of *, the system updates the value to Blank even though Blank is not set up as a value in the UDC table.

Calendar Name (optional to specify unique calendars for the same branch/plant)

Enter a code used to classify values within a calendar type. For example, if the calendar type is ROUTE, you can enter a code that specifies a particular route, such as Daily or Weekend.

Note: The system does not validate the code that you enter.

If you enter a value in the Calendar Name field, you must enter a shift code.

Shift Code (optional to specify unique calendars for the same branch/plant)

Enter a value from UDC 00/SH (Shift Codes) that identifies daily work shifts.
