The first step in setting up working time calendars is to create a working time template. Use the template to define the hours of operation, or the work periods in your production for each day of the week. When you set up the working time calendar template, you can also indicate an efficiency level for each period you define. Efficiency levels are reflected in the capacity of the work centers and throughout the system.

1. Click Basic> Setup> Calendar> Working time templates.

2. Press CTRL+N to create a new line.

3. In the Working time templatefield, enter an alphanumeric identifier of up to ten characters in length.

4. In the Namefield, enter a descriptive name for the template.

5. Select the tab that corresponds to the day of the week for which working hours are to be set.

6. Press CTRL+N to create a new line to input operation hours.

7. In the Fromfield, enter the starting time for the day or period.

8. In the Tofield, enter the ending time for the period. This can be defined as a day, a shift, or a temporary cease in operation such as a lunch period.

9. In the Efficiencyfield, type the efficiency percent.

10. In the Propertyfield, select the property for the selected day's working time template.

11. Repeat steps 7 through 10 for each period to be included in the template for a particular day and for each day of the week.
