These settings allow the user to define a specific work week for a specific area. The area work week defines the days of the week that the area is eligible to work (overriding the work week set at the company and division level). The schedule baseline and projected dates calculate based on the valid number of days within a work week, also taking into account "days off/holidays" marked within the calendar selected to apply to that area.
The work week and calendar defined on the Scheduling tab in Setup > Areas applies only to the specific area selected.
If there one consistent work week & calendar for each division within a company, it is only necessary to define the division work week on the File > Company Settings > Division tab.
If there is one consistent work week & calendar for the entire company, it is only necessary to define the company work week on the File > Company Settings > Calendar tab.

The work week may also be set at the company, division, or job level. When calculating dates within schedules, the Scheduling module looks for the work week based on a specific hierarchy. See Scheduling Work Week Hierarchy, Defining the Company Work Week, Defining the Division Work Week, Job Work Week for additional information. |
