Hello,

Factory Calender decides the holidays for the plant.

Sales order flow to production order and based on the factory calender material availability will be confirmed to the customer.

Production planning/Scheduling will happen based on Factory Calender.

Hi Suresh,

Factory calendar specify the work days at the customer's site.These calendars are used to determine when a delievery must take place in order for it to reach the customer's site on a work day when it can be received.We also use the factory calendar in consolidated invoicing.That is,if we specify that only one day a week is a working day for our customer ,the billing documents are only to be created for that one day each week,causing delievery documents to be consolidated into one billing document.

Thanks

Hi Suresh,

You maintain the factory calendar in IMG in Tcode SCAL and assign the factory calendar with plant in IMg while defining the plant in the Enterprise structure.If you dont maintain it and make the standard order you will get an error-"Factory calendar missing or error in factory calendar".

I hope it will answer your query.Reward if suitable.

Thanks
