Assignment Holiday Schedules

If you use PeopleSoft Resource Management without PeopleSoft Program Management, and you select the Do not schedule assignments on Holidays option on the Installation Options - Resource Management page, the system does not schedule assignments on days that have tasks with a Scheduled Holiday task category as per the Resource's Holiday Schedule.

If you clear the Do not schedule assignments on Holidays option, and you create an assignment that conflicts with a resource holiday, the system gives you an option to either save the assignment with the schedule conflict, or return to the Assign Resource page to correct the assignment schedule.

Note:

If you use PeopleSoft Program Management, the system does not schedule assignments on resource holidays if you use the resource calendar to schedule the assignment, and does not schedule assignments on project holidays if you use the project calendar to schedule the assignment. However, if you use the project calendar to schedule the assignment, and the assignment schedule conflicts with a holiday on the resource's calendar, the system gives you an option to either save the assignment with the schedule conflict, or return to the Assign Resource page to correct the assignment schedule.

Holiday Schedule Changes

If you associate a new holiday schedule with a resource, assignments that are created for that resource after the change will use the new holiday schedule. All existing assignments for the resource, regardless of the assignment date ranges, will continue to use the original holiday schedule that was specified for the resource at the time of original assignment creation. This scenario applies if you use PeopleSoft Resource Management without PeopleSoft Program Management, or if you use PeopleSoft Program Management and use the resource calendar to schedule assignments.

If you use PeopleSoft Program Management and use the project calendar to schedule assignments, and you associate a new business calendar with the project, assignments that are created for that project after the change will use the new business calendar. All existing assignments for the project will continue to use the original business calendar that was specified for the project at the time of original assignment creation.

You can cancel or complete existing assignments and create new assignments after changing resource or project calendars.

Note:

If you add or remove a holiday from a schedule that is specified for a resource, and run the Holiday Load process runs, existing assignments that are based on the resource's calendar do not change. The existing assignments will retain the holiday schedule that was in place when you created the assignment. Therefore, administrators should set up holiday schedules as far into the future as possible.
