Setting Up Japanese Holidays to Validate Payment Due Dates

The holiday checking feature checks if payment due dates fall on local holidays or non-operational days, as defined by the administrator.

Holiday checking uses Holiday Types and Annual Holiday Date records to work. Holiday Types are defined holidays such as Coming-of-Age Day. Holiday Types are used to create Annual Holiday Date records that are assigned to Japanese subsidiaries for holiday checking.

Holiday checking details:

enabled by default on Japanese subsidiary records for OneWorld accounts, or on the Company Information page, without OneWorld;
requires the administrator (or a custom role granted access permission to Holiday records) to set up the holiday records and assign them to Japanese subsidiaries that have holiday checking enabled;
applies to invoices and credit memos that have the Include in Invoice Summary box checked; and
if due date adjustment is enabled, the payment due date you set are automatically adjusted by the system if the date falls on a holiday or weekend.

Note:

The Japan Localization SuiteApp includes Japanese holidays for 2015 only. You must set up holidays for subsequent years.

Holiday Type record and Holiday Type List page

To create a new Holiday Type record, go to Setup > Japan Localization > Holiday Types > New.

To view existing Holiday Type records, go to Setup > Japan Localization > Holiday Types.

Holiday Types displayed on the Holiday Type List page are available for selection in the Display Name dropdown list on the Holiday record. You can enter translations for the holiday names if the Multi-Language feature is enabled.

Annual Holiday Date record

Go to Setup > Japan Localization > Annual Holiday Dates > New.

Annual Holiday Date records are custom records used to validate the payment due date on invoices. This record defines the date of the holiday (day, month, and year).

Use Holiday Checking box and Japan Holidays subtab

With OneWorld, go to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries, and select a Japanese subsidiary. On the subsidiary record, the Japan Holidays subtab is available, as well as the Japan Localization Setup subtab, which has the Use Holiday Checking box.

Without OneWorld, go to Setup > Company > Company Information, where the subtabs are available.

If the Use Holiday Checking box is checked and Due Date Adjustment is enabled, the system performs automatic checking and adjustment of a due date that falls on a holiday. The Japan Holidays subtab determines the holidays that the subsidiary will use to validate the payment due date.
