| Relationships between CCP and other modulesThe data defined in the Calendars and Periods module is used in the following LN packages and modules: People uses
recurrences for employees' assignments in the Assignments (bpmdm0130m000) session. In the Enterprise Modeling Management module in Common, you can define
the calendar of companies (company calendar) and enterprise units. In the People module, you can link calendars to teams of employees. The Hours and Expenses module in
the People package uses this
information to get the default number of hours from the calendar
lines. In Common, you can link calendars to business partners and addresses; Procurement and Sales use this
information when planning goods transfers. In Manufacturing, you can link calendars to work centers. The work centers' working
times determine the available production capacity. In Warehousing, you can link calendars to warehouses. In Service, you use calendars to specify when a cluster is available for servicing and to define when a service department is available to
perform service activities. Every calendar has one or more availability types. Usually, for each
package you can specify which of the calendars' availability types applies to
that package. In Service, you can assign a separate availability type to
each service type. Here, every availability type indicates the
employee’s available time for each activity. In Enterprise Planning, you can assign availability types to scenarios; with this, you can simulate a reduced or
increased production capacity. The Commissions and Rebates module in Sales uses periods to calculate the commissions for sales representatives and agents, and the rebates for customers. The Statistics module in Procurement and Sales uses periods for
statistical analyses. The Repetitive Manufacturing module in Manufacturing uses periods to organize repetitive
production processes. The Project Progress module in Project uses periods to define cost-control periods. People uses periods for budgeting and hours accounting.
Note Financials does not use Calendars and Periods. Financials uses its own entities to define the financial periods. | |
