Get Previous Working Day

Question

Do you know any function module which will give me the previous working day only by ignoring saturdays and sundays and it should NOT consider holidays.
Example:
Monday's Date should give me previous friday's date.
Friday's Date should give me previous thrusday's date

Answer 1

Hello Ramesh,
I assume you have your factory calendar ID with you:
DATA:
    L_V_PREDT        TYPE DATUM, "Next Day.
  L_V_PREDT = SY-DATUM - 1.
* Get the next Working Day as per Factory Calendar
  CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
    EXPORTING
      CORRECT_OPTION               = '-' " -VE  to get the previous date
      DATE                         = L_V_PREDT
      FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID          = 'HY' "--> Give your factory cal. ID here
    IMPORTING
      DATE                         = V_PREWD
    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 SY-SUBRC <> 0.
*  Do Nothing
  ENDIF.
If you want to use the FM: BKK_GET_PRIOR_WORKDAY, still then you have to use the operation:
L_V_PREDT = SY-DATUM - 1.
And pass L_V_PREDT to the FM. You can test with 23.03.2009 date & check )
Hope this helps.

Suhas
