[former_member296874]

Hello,

In IBP release 1911, to support the new planning calendars, the following new attribute types are now available for planning models:

• Calendar attribute
• Time zone attribute

Suggest how to use them & more details on this?

Hi,

New App for Viewing Planning Calendars - Planning calendars can be used in order-based planning only.

If you have assigned factory calendars in your SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA on-premise system for use as factory, shipping, receiving, or transportation calendars in order-based planning, these are integrated into IBP via SAP HANA Smart Data Integration. When you start to use SAP Integrated Business Planning 1911, planning calendars are created based on these integrated factory calendars.

You can use the new Planning Calendars app to display planning calendars. Using this app, you can view the number of working and non-working days in the current and previous years, and display workday-related details of the factory calendar on which the planning calendar is based.

To support the planning calendar function of SAP Integrated Business Planning, special attribute types are available with fixed properties as follows:

• Calendar (FACTORY_CALENDAR) attribute:
  • Data type: NVARCHAR
  • Length: 32
• Time zone attribute:
  • Data type: NVARCHAR
  • Length: 6

These attributes are part of S7LOCATION - Location master data type. If you maintain the values during the planning run consider a calendar.

Best Regards,
