2012 Holiday calendar issue

[Former Member]

Suppose I update holiday calendar 2012 and create the work schedule end of Dec, 2011 for calendar ID "KH" and this holiday calendar ID was assigned to 3 different personnel Subarea "A, B, C" and the requirement is that in mid of year 2012 there is a possibility of the change in holiday list for personnel sub area "B", how to go about it as of now? Will it affect anything related to payroll.

Create a dummy, empty holiday calendar "TH" and assign it to B. and proceed as usual with other areas with same holiday calendar ID, "KH". This way you can avoid declaring inappropriate holidays to area B. This is a solution that you can configure on system.

But changing holiday list in mid year does not seem to be a good practice,

Keep in mind to::-

1. Just check with your enduser and get clarification on the same. Also make them aware that the requirement raised forces this kind of configuration. Inform them that till a new calendar is announced, area B won't get any holidays. If that is what they want go ahead and do it.

2. If not, they might probably want certain fixed holidays. If they want fixed holidays just assign those holidays to TH.

If not they might want the same holidays as in KH to be applicable for area B till they declare new holiday calendar. Then assign TH with same holidays and later modify it once new holidays are declared.
