Base Calendar Card Window

Defines a base calendar and shows all date entries.

You typically set up a base calendar on a general level and define each date as either a working or nonworking day. For example, a base calendar for a particular country/region would define weekends and national holidays as nonworking days. All other days would be working days.

The default base calendar assumes that every date is a working day and, therefore, you must specify which dates are nonworking days. You do this in the Base Calendar Changes window, which you open by clicking Actions, pointing to Functions, and then clicking Maintain Base Calendar Changes.

The Base Calendar card and the Base Calendar Changes window interact dynamically; if you enter a change in one place, the program will automatically update the other. Note, however, that in the Base Calendar card, you can define working or nonworking day status, but only for one individual date entry at a time.

The program uses the working and nonworking day information that you register on the base calendar and also on any customized calendar when it calculates delivery and receipt dates on sales order, purchase order, transfer order and production order lines.

The base calendar forms the basis for any customized calendars that your company may set up for itself or for its various business partners, such as customers, vendors or locations.
