Using Factory Calendar

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Hari,

I believe you are using the first edition's example of a BOR object for
deadlines. If you use ABAP classes for your deadline calculation (the
second edition contains an example), you can use functional methods which
enable you to pass the offset as a parameter in the deadline dialog.

But othewise if you want to use BOR, you are correct that you will need
two instances.

Regards,
Mike
