Time management

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to understand Time management concepts, pls help me on the following -
1) what is factory calendar, and special rules in factory calendar, and how is it different from holiday calendar.Is factory calendar applicable only to factories or to normal organisations under any circumstances?
2)  I am trying to understand reference time in defining dynamic breaks in break schedules and i came across planned working time and normal working time. What is the difference between planned working time and normal working time?
thanks

there is smthg called special rules on Factory calendar, pls check and if possible pls help me understand special rules in factory calendar.....have awarded points for ur guidance
*I BELIVE SPECIAL RULE FOR PM AND PP Module not for HR. any way thanks for asking i got new point*
*see example here*
*You do that using a special rule for the calendar. SCAL is the transaction code. Click the Maintain button then select the Factory calendar radio button and press the change (pencil) button.*
*Select your calendar then press the change (pencil) button again. Click on the Special rules button then the Create button (paper). Enter the From and To date(s) [same date if only one day] then if it WILL be a work day check the Workday field and you will need to enter Text.*
*If, for example, the day is a normal workday and you want to shut down for that date (or date range), this time leave the Workday check box empty.*
*Click the paper button when you're done entering the data then the save button (or the F-11 key). You're done.*
*This is configuration data therefore configuration for SCAL and SCA6_U must be allowed in your profile.*
also can u help me with the DWS class concept, i know DWS class 0 is for off days but what abt others 1-9, are they customer specific, and where are the DWS classes defined, i mean table name.
*DWS. 0 (work paid)*
          *1-- Off--paid*
          2Offunpaid
          3 off--special day and
          4 to 9 are customer specific are the days types.
Hope you got clarity with this
Best Regards
