Use this form to create one or more calendars to manage working hours used in work centers and work center groups. Calendars define the amount of capacity and work time in the production system. If you create more than one calendar, it is best to create a base calendar first.

You can create Working time calendars from the form. Working time calendars have to be set up before you can create Work centers. When you create a work center, you have to specify which working time calendar to use. Working time calendars serve as the basis for calculating the capacity of the individual resources.

Note Note

If you edit the base calendar, the changes are reflected in all other calendars that you create. However, if you make changes to individual working time calendars, the changes are not updated in the base calendar.
