Creating holiday calendars

You can create as many holiday calendars as you require. Each holiday calendar contains a list of holidays with specific dates.

By default, the calendar is pre-populated with all the existing holidays in the system. If you want to create blank calendars without any holidays, set the CREATE_BLANK_CALENDARS registry parameter to true. See the Infor Workforce Management Registry Parameter Reference Guide.

To create a holiday calendar:

  1. Select Maintenance > Public Holidays > Holiday Calendar.
  2. Click Create New Entry.
  3. Specify this information:
    Holiday Calendar
    Specify the name of the holiday calendar.
    Description
    Specify a description of the holiday calendar.
    Year
    Select the year to which the calendar applies from the drop-down list.
    Calc Group
    Select the calculation group to which the calendar applies using the lookup.
  4. Click Save.
    If the CREATE_BLANK_CALENDARS registry parameter is set to false (the default), the calendar is pre-populated with all the existing holidays in the system. The existing holidays are displayed in the Holiday Calendar Detail section.

    If the CREATE_BLANK_CALENDARS registry parameter is set to true, the calendar is created without any holidays. The Holiday Calendar Detail section is empty.

  5. To add a holiday to the calendar, click the new row icon and specify this information:
    Holiday
    Select the name of the holiday using the lookup.
    Date
    Select the date the holiday is observed using the calendar.

    You can add more holidays to the calendar by clicking the new row icon.

  6. Adjust the dates of any existing holidays based on the dates they are observed.
  7. Select the Del check box for the holidays that you do not want to include in your new holiday calendar.
  8. Click Save.
