The projected dates and the scheduled dates in each schedule are calculated based on a work week. The work week may defined at the company, division, area or job level. When calculating dates within schedules, the Scheduling module will look for the first defined work week based on the following hierarchy:
Within this hierarchy, the first completed calendar that is found will be used to calculate the dates within the schedule.
The Work Week and Non-working Day Calendars work in tandem to optimize ease of use and effectiveness of the WMS Scheduling module. The program looks to the work week first, then looks at the calendar assigned. if the day is a Non-working day in the calendar, the program moves to the next day.
The Work Week can be assigned at the Activity/Trade/Phase/Job/Area/Division and Company levels.
Non-working Days can be assigned at the Area/Division and Company levels.
If no work week at all is set up, the default work week of Monday through Friday will be used.
The Hierarchy between the Work Week and Non-working Day Calendars looks first to the Schedule Activity, then to the Work Week, then to the Non-working Day.
