Calendars & Shifts
When the factory works: shifts, holidays and exceptions.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
A factory calendar defines working shifts, holidays and one-off exceptions. Production orders are scheduled against it, so an order due on Monday is started early enough to be worked through the shifts available. Holidays can be synchronised, there is a month view, and a working-time calculator shows how much working time falls between two dates.
When to use calendars & shifts
- You open a new plant or change shift patterns.
- Scheduled dates look wrong and you need to check the calendar.
Step by step
In the Manufacturing module open Engineering in the green navigation bar, then choose Calendars & Shifts under Resources.
