These settings allow the user to define a specific work week and calendar for a specific division. The defined work week affects the Scheduling module, and overrides the work week established at the company level. The schedule baseline and projected dates calculate based on the valid number of days within a work week for the calendar selected.

|
It is recommended to set up the calendar(s) first, in order to populate the Division Calendar drop-down menu. See Setup > Workday Calendars. If a calendar is created but does not show up in the Division Calendar drop-down menu, it may be necessary to click the Refresh button. |
If the client is using a different work week for each division, that work week is defined on the Calendar tab for that specific division. A work week defined at the division level overrides the work week defined at the company level, on the Setup > Company > Calendar tab. Creating a specific work week for a division allows the user to specify the work week that applies when calculating dates in the Scheduling module. The schedule baseline and projected dates calculate based on the valid number of days within a work week. First the software looks at the work week established, then checks the calendar to determine whether the day is a working day or not when doing the schedule activity calculation.
If the client has one consistent work week and calendar for all divisions within a company (i.e., at the company level), it is only necessary to define the company work week and calendar on the Setup > Company > Calendar tab.

|
The work week may also be set at the activity, trade, phase, job, area, division, or company level. When calculating dates within schedules, the Scheduling module looks for the work week based on a specific hierarchy, which starts by looking at the activity level then works its way up. Within this hierarchy, the first work week that is found is used to calculate the dates within the schedule. |
From the Setup menu, select Divisions.
Or, click on the Divisions icon within the Setup toolbar.
Verify the division currently selected in the Division field is the correct division for which the work week and calendar will be defined. If necessary, select a different division from the Division drop-down menu.
Click on the Calendar tab.
Click the associated checkbox for each day to include in the division-level work week. If the checkbox for a day of the week is checked, the day will be included in the work week (i.e., counted as a working day). If the checkbox for a day is blank, the day will not be included in the work week.
|
Note |
|
If the client has defined the work week at the company level (See the Defining the Company Work Week and Calendar) to be Monday through Friday, and the division work week needs to include Saturday, the checkbox for each day of Monday through Saturday needs to be marked on the Setup > Divisions > Calendar tab. If only Saturday is marked at the division level, the work week will calculate within the schedules for Saturday only. |
Click on the Division Calendar drop-down menu and select the appropriate calendar. The work week days selected will adhere to the calendar selected. By default, the company calendar is selected.
Click on Save to save the changes.
Continue with setting up the default supplier for the division as necessary, or click the Close 
button to exit the screen.
