Setting Up Japanese Holiday Types

A Holiday Type is what a holiday is called, such as Coming-of-Age Day. Holiday Types are used to create Annual Holiday Date records, which are assigned to Japanese subsidiaries and used for holiday checking. You can enter translations for Holiday Types if Multi-Language feature is enabled.

To create a Holiday Type:

1. Go to Setup > Japan Localization > Holiday Types > New.

2. Enter the name of the holiday in the Name field.

3. (Optional) If the Multi-Language feature is enabled, enter translations in the Name column of a corresponding Language. The availability of the language fields for entering translations depends on the languages you've set up on the General Preferences page (Setup > Company > General Preferences).

4. Click Save.

To edit a Holiday Type:

1. Go to Setup > Japan Localization > Holiday Types.

2. On the Holiday Type list page, click the Edit link of the Holiday Type you want to edit.

3. Click the name in the Name field and edit the holiday type name.

4. (Optional) To edit the translation of the holiday type, click the name in the Name column and edit the translated name.

5. Click Save.

Note:

A Holiday Type that is associated with an Annual Holiday Date record can't be deleted. If you don't need a Holiday Type, you can set it to inactive by checking the Inactive box.
