Calendar Maintenance

On this window, you can enter and update activity calendars associated to the manufacturing resources.

The plant calendar (PC code) and the week corresponding to the reference date are presented.

 If working at the basic level, you can use only the PC calendar and only one shift.

You can select the desired calendar in the dropdown list (this list comes from the calendar table).

You can then choose the desired week using one of the methods below:

      the Previous or the Next button lets you view to the next or previous week,

      the list of the weeks already saved in the left panel,

      the Calendar button, which presents the monthly calendar.

Entering daily working hours

For every day of the week you can enter the starting times of work (between 0 and 23:59) and the work duration (in standard hours) for three shifts.

To speed up data input for each calendar, you can define for each calendar a standard week (Update Std button). When you have entered the standard week hours, you come back to the weekly hours definition by clicking on the Week button.

The Standard button displays the hours defined in the standard week in the current week. You can then modify them.

Fast input for a calendar over several weeks

To quickly copy a standard week for several weeks, the procedure is the following:

      Go to the standard week update mode (Upd Std button).

      Enter or modify the standard week,

      Click on the Calendar button; the monthly calendar appears,

      Select the date until when you want to copy the standard week in the calendar weeks,

      Confirm by OK.

The standard week hours are copied in every week between the current week (the one on which you were when you clicked on the Upd Std button) and the week of the selected day on the monthly calendar.

It is then possible to modify the hours week by week.

Warning: this procedure overwrites the hours entered previously.
