Hi All,

I wonder if any one could shed some light on the following error when trying to create a sales order. The error is : Factory Calendar Date Conversion Error

Hi.

The factory should be configured for the company code.

SPRO --> financial accounting ---> Financial accounting and global setting --> company code --> enter global parameters.

check on the company code by double clicking.

Take the help of the FI consultant if you do not have the authorisation.

Thanks

Dear Tony,

Follow notes will solve your problem,

Every plant in SAP can have its own calendar that defines plant working days. This calendar is used by planning functions to determine whether a particular day is working one or not. You can see the effects if, for example, you try to create a delivery schedule on Sunday, and the system says that actually the next working day is another one.

Very ofter we have to account for working days and exclude weekends and holidays in our ABAP. To do that, SAP provides two functions modules that are used to convert between the u201Cnormalu201D date and the enumerated u201Cfactory dayu201D. The factory day is a number assigned to each working day in plant calendar. The functions are FACTORYDATE_CONVERT_TO_DATE and DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE and they are documented directly in SAP, in SAP standalone help (BC Extended Applications Function Library) and, of course, at se37.com.

The typical use of those functions is to add a number of days to a given date, skipping holidays and weekends. This is often asked on SAP-related forums and is one of the subjects in SAPfans ABAP FAQ.

I use those functions also for simple checks whether a day is working or not, and to move a date to a working day (forwards or backwards). Below are forms that I use. The factory calendar (FABKL) can be read directly from the table T001W. The parameter pf_correct should be u2018+u2019 to move forward or u2018-u2019 to move backwards.

form move_to_working

using

pf_fabkl type fabkl

pf_correct type cind

changing

pf_date type datum.

data:

lf_newdate type datum.

check not pf_fabkl is initial.

call function 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'

exporting

correct_option = pf_correct

date = pf_date

factory_calendar_id = pf_fabkl

importing

date = lf_newdate

exceptions

date_invalid = 5

factory_calendar_not_found = 6

others = 7.

if sy-subrc = 0.

pf_date = lf_newdate.

endif.

endform.

form is_working_day

using

pi_werks like pbim-werks

pi_date like sy-datum

pi_fabkl type fabkl

changing

po_working like space.

data:

w_work like SCAL-INDICATOR,

w_fabkl like t001w-fabkl.

clear po_working.

call function 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
