Hi

Logic

Fixed Date and Movable holiday.

Fixed date example :

Oct -2 Gandhijayanthi we can make it constant for many years.

Diwali is floating holidaydate may change from year to year

on every calender year begining u have to update the date for floating holidays like

diwali,ayudhapooja,muhram etc.. watever applicable.Okey

and u have to generate the work schdule in the path (Time mgt>Work schedules>Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules>

New holidays list is updated in the ws and also u can see in infotype 7

with regards

partha

Floating Holidays are created for holidays for which the dates are not decided for the years ahead or dates may changes each year or when a unusual holiday is just introducted for one year.

1.Use transaction SCAL or use the IMG path to the holiday calender.

2.Create a new holiday and select the option " is a movable holiday".

3.Fill in the " public holiday attribute tab" and hit insert date.

4.Fill in the year, month and date for the floating holiday or you could do multiple years at the same time if dates are know and hit create.

5. The new public holiday is created.

6.Assign the new holiday to the holiday calender, while saving you will get a message that " an irregular public holiday is created and being save hit ok. This message will appear in cases when the holiday calender validity and the validity of the floating holiday are matching.

Generate the work schedules and check if th holiday appear in the work schedule.

Hi,

SAP has given two major types of Holidays that can be defined * Fixed Holidays* and Floating Holiday Fixed Holidays will be Independence Day, Christmas etc as they occur on a fixed day irrespective of the year, whereas Diwali, Dusheera, Id etc have no fixed day of occurance hence should be defined as Floating public holidays
