Using Factory Calendar

[Srinivas Reddy]

Hi Hari,

My inline comments for your questions.

1) Is there a table that I can refer where we can find the Factory Calendar
 ID based on the company code?

Yes. the table is T001W. The factory calender id field is FABKL.

 2) Will the function module 'END_TIME_DETERMINE' always returns a working
 day / non holiday - even when the OFFSET & TIME unit are empty? [Since
 offset is not fixed here as we have +3 and +5 for requested and latest ends
 respectively]. I mean I just pass the factory calendar ID and the offset
(+3
 +5) I would anyhow be providing at the workflow step level - will it still
 work?

I do not understand "*Will the function module 'END_TIME_DETERMINE' always
returns a working day / non holiday - even when the OFFSET & TIME unit are
empty*?"
If I understand correctly you mean here offset mean duration. If that is
what you mean the function module will return SY-DATUM and SY_UZEIT as
return.
