Assigning Calendar Codes to Business Units, Work Centers, and Resources

Once you create calendar codes and the associated run time calendar, you can associate them to the business unit, work centers, and resources. Once you attach the calendar code, its associated run time calendar code appears, indicating that the calendar is created and recognized in the planning and scheduling process.

Business Units

Assign the calendar code to the business unit using the Manufacturing Options page. If a calendar code is not associated with a work center, PeopleSoft Manufacturing uses the calendar code defined on the Manufacturing Options page to schedule production for all work centers that do not have a work center calendar defined within the business unit.

Important:

Designate only one calendar code as the business unit's production calendar. When you add the first calendar code for a business unit, PeopleSoft Manufacturing automatically defines it as the default production calendar.

Work Centers

Associate the appropriate alternate calendar code to the work center using the Work Center Attributes 1 page. If you associate a calendar code to a work center, PeopleSoft Manufacturing uses the calendar associated with the code to schedule production for this particular work center. PeopleSoft Supply Planning uses these calendars when you are doing aggregate capacity planning. If a calendar code isn't associated with a work center, PeopleSoft Manufacturing schedules production for the work center based on the default calendar associated with the business unit.

Production Resources

If you are using PeopleSoft Supply Planning, associate the appropriate calendar code to a resource—tool, machine, or crew—using the appropriate Planning Options page. If you associate an alternate calendar code to a resource, PeopleSoft Supply Planning uses this calendar to schedule production while optimizing the plan. If a calendar code isn't associated with the resource, PeopleSoft Supply Planning schedules production for the resource based on the default calendar associated with the business unit.
