Planning Calendars
Use the Real-Time Integration (Calendar, UoM, Currency) application job to integrate calendars. Apart from the production calendar, which is automatically assigned to the location, you must assign calendars to the relevant master data.
Shipping and receiving calendars can be assigned to location products or transportation lanes. The default system behavior is to use the calendars of location products. If you want to use the calendars defined for transportation lanes, you can change this setting for the entire planning area in the Settings for Order-Based Planning app under Source of Supply Master Data.
Planned orders are scheduled according to the production calendar defined for the location. Both production and goods receipt activities use the production calendar.
In the app, you can also create new planning calendars by basing the planning calendars on calendars from your external system.
If you create a planning calendar in SAP IBP, you must assign it to the relevant master data described above, by using BAdIs or by maintaining the respective master data type in SAP IBP. For more information, please refer to SAP Help Online Documentation.
An example of a Planning Calendar is shown in the following figure.
