| | Calendars and PeriodsCalendars define the working hours for resources in the company
such as work centers, employees, warehouses, purchase offices, and sales
offices. The calendars are used to determine lead times and start/end dates for
activities carried out in a company, such as production, purchasing,
warehousing, service and maintenance, and project activities. Calendars can be defined on a high level, such as enterprise
unit and company level, and on a detailed level, such as when planning a
resource. If a calendar is not found on the resource level, the calendar on a
higher level will be used. The production work force can be organized in shifts. The
most common models are one, two or three shift models, but more complicated
models are possible with different shift divisions planned for various days of
the week.
