How to: Assign Base Calendars

You can assign a base calendar to your company and its business partners, such as customers, vendors, or locations. Delivery and receipt dates on future sales order, purchase order, transfer order, and production order lines are calculated according to the calendar’s specified working days.

The following procedure schedules delivery dates on sales order lines for a customer as an example. Note that at this point, you have already set up a base calendar.

Base calendars are assigned to your own company, customers, vendors, locations, and shipping agents as follows:

On the Company Information and Customer cards, the base calendar is assigned on the Shipping FastTab.
On the Vendor card, the base calendar is assigned on the Receiving FastTab.
On the Location card, the base calendar is assigned on the Warehouse FastTab.
In the Shipping Agents window, the base calendar is assigned in the Shipping Agent Services window.

Open the Customer card for whom you will assign a base calendar.
On the Shipping FastTab, in the Base Calendar Code field, select the base calendar that you want to assign.

Important
If you do not assign a base calendar to a company, all dates are calculated as working days. If you enter a blank location on an order line, all dates are calculated as working days. Any base calendar defined for the vendor or the location affects how the dates are calculated and rounded to working days. adFor more information, see Lead Time Calculation.

Note
Before you can make customized calendar entries, you must first assign a base calendar to the company.
