Workday Calendar
A workday calendar
consists of a start date, and end date, and on and off days that follow one or
more defined workday patterns. A workday calendar can also include shift
information and exception dates, such as holidays or scheduled down time.
Use a workday calendar
for forecasting and planning material requirements, use shift information for
job scheduling, and capacity analysis.
Workday exceptions
identify deviations to the workday calendar. Shift exceptions identify
deviations for a shift.
Attention:
Shift exceptions take precedence over workday exceptions. (This is only
relevant if a workday exception and a shift exception overlap.)
To assign workday
exceptions to a workday calendar or calendar shift, either select them
intuitively from the Calendar Dates (or Shift Calendar Dates) window, or apply
them from an existing template, calendar, or shift.
To create a workday calendar:
1.
Navigate to the
Workday Calendar window.
2.
Enter a name for the
workday calendar.
3.
Select a quarterly
calendar type:
4/4/5 Week Pattern:
Two four-week periods followed by one five-week period.
5/4/4 Week Pattern:
One five-week period followed by two four-week periods.
Calendar Months:
Twelve periods per year based on calendar months.
13 Periods: Thirteen
four-week periods per year.
Note: If you use
Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP, choose the 4/4/5 Weekly Pattern or the 5/4/4
Weekly Pattern to report MRP information in weeks and months. Otherwise, if you
choose the 13 Periods calendar or Calendar Months, you can only report MRP
information in monthly buckets.
4.
Enter a date range for
the workday calendar. The default end date is four years from the start date.
Note: Days on and off
are calculated based on the start date and the day of the week. For example, if
you want a standard five day workweek to start on 01-JAN, you must enter the
start date as the Monday before 01-JAN (unless 01-JAN falls on a Monday).
5.
Continue creating the
workday calendar by choosing one of the following buttons:
Workday Pattern: Set
workdays on or off.
Shifts: Assign shifts
to the workday calendar.
6.
Dates: Review your
work so far and its effect on the workday calendar. Do this before you build or
rebuild the workday calendar you are now creating. (You can only do this after
you have defined a workday pattern.)
Once you have created
a workday pattern, assigned shifts, assigned workday and shift exceptions, and
reviewed your work, you must build the calendar and assign it to an
organization.
7.
Save your work.
Once you have created the calendar, to make it active for using
in other places, you need to build the calendar.
