Using Factory Calendar

[hari.bommaraju@accenture.com]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the response!

My question is - since I have two deadlines (+3 days and +5 days for requested and latest end - which I specify only at workflow step level) - how do I pass this offset information (+3 or +5 information) to the deadline object ZFactoryDeadline?

The +3 / +5 days is what I define at the workflow step level - now how does this offset information reach the method 'END_TIME_DETERMINE'?

Suppose I execute method 'END_TIME_DETERMINE' on a holiday specifying only the calendar ID and empty offset and time unit - will it return the holiday date / next working date?

Br,
Hari

Hello,

1) To see factory calendars:
/nSPRO -> SAP Reference IMG > SAP NetWeaver > General Settings >
Maintain Calendar

2)  I don't understand the question. If the OFFSET and TIME are empty
you would either get an error or today's date and time.
Try it out. If today is a non-work day and you use no offset then I
would guess that it would return today.
