Calendars and Periods

Calendars 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

    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.

  • Shifts

    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.
