Deadlines and SAP Calendar

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

There is an object called FACTORYCAL. You could always sub-type it and
implement the method below. Both would work. I guess its just semantics.
(which in OO programming is important).

Hi Felipe,
I wrote a method in the business object and coded it as follows:     ZOFFSET
is
set to 3 days in the container, just so we could change the number of
business
days by simply changing the container value.
 
 
 
BEGIN_METHOD ZCALCDEADLINE CHANGING CONTAINER.
 
 DATA: FACTORYCALENDARID LIKE SCAL-FCALID,
       DATE_FROM LIKE SCAL-DATE,
       FACTORYDATE LIKE SCAL-FACDATE,
       CORRECTION LIKE SCAL-INDICATOR,
       DEADLINE LIKE SCAL-DATE,
       OFFSET TYPE I.
 
 SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ZFactoryCalendarID' FACTORYCALENDARID.
 SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ZDate_from' DATE_FROM.
 SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zcorrection' CORRECTION.
 SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ZOffset' OFFSET.
 
 IF CORRECTION IS INITIAL.
   CORRECTION = '+'.
 ENDIF.
 
 CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
       EXPORTING
          CORRECT_OPTION        = CORRECTION
          DATE                  = DATE_FROM
          FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID   = FACTORYCALENDARID
       IMPORTING
*         DATE           =
          FACTORYDATE           = FACTORYDATE
*         WORKINGDAY_INDICATOR  =
       EXCEPTIONS
          CALENDAR_BUFFER_NOT_LOADABLE = 1
          CORRECT_OPTION_INVALID       = 2
          DATE_AFTER_RANGE             = 3
          DATE_BEFORE_RANGE            = 4
          DATE_INVALID                 = 5
          FACTORY_CALENDAR_NOT_FOUND   = 6
          OTHERS                       = 7.
 
 IF NOT OFFSET IS INITIAL.
   FACTORYDATE = FACTORYDATE + OFFSET.
 ENDIF.
 
*  Convert the factory date into a normal calendar date
 CALL FUNCTION 'FACTORYDATE_CONVERT_TO_DATE'
       EXPORTING
          FACTORYDATE          = FACTORYDATE
          FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID  = FACTORYCALENDARID
       IMPORTING
          DATE                 = DEADLINE
       EXCEPTIONS
          CALENDAR_BUFFER_NOT_LOADABLE = 1
          FACTORYDATE_AFTER_RANGE      = 2
          FACTORYDATE_BEFORE_RANGE     = 3
          FACTORYDATE_INVALID          = 4
          FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID_MISSING  = 5
          FACTORY_CALENDAR_NOT_FOUND   = 6
          OTHERS                       = 7.
 
 if sy-sysid = 'BBD'.
   DEADLINE = DATE_FROM.
 endif.
 
* Set the deadline parameter to date calculated
 SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ZDeadline' DEADLINE.
 
END_METHOD.
 
 
The container elements were:
 
ZOFFSET         3
ZCORRECTION             +
ZDATE_FROM              &REQREQ.CREATEDATE&
ZFACTORYCALENDARID              US
 
 
 
This resulted in a deadline date of 3 workdays.
 
Hopes this helps.
