What is a factory calendar in MM?

where it is configured and how the functionality works?

Hi,
A calander has to be defined to each and every plant to decide about the plants holidays and workdays.Unless a plant is having a calander it will not be in a position to decede about its schdule upon its operations.
Hence a factoty calander will be created and will be assigned to the plant.In Sap factory calander will be created at the transaction code SCAL.
Here holidays will be created and assigned to the holiday calander and in turn the holiday calander will be assigned to the factory calander.Factory calander will be assigned to the plant .
Based upon the holidays provided ,during the transactions system prompts .
Regards.

Working day to factory calendar date

Hello Experts,
I wish to get the factory calendar date, specific to a factory calendar, based on a working day.
Basically, if i pass say 4, then i want to get the date for the 4th working day based on a specific factory calendar.
Can someone throw some light on possible function module that i can use in BW ?
Thanks

That's what I was giving you, you give the working day and the factory calendar and you get the date, or you can use this function and you can do it the other way:
(Unless I'm completely missing your point here...)
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
EXPORTING
    CORRECT_OPTION                     = '+'
    DATE                               = G_WORKAREA3-CREATEDON
    FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID                = L_S_PLANT-FACTCAL_ID
IMPORTING
*   DATE                               =
   FACTORYDATE                        = L_FCDATE
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.
ENDIF.

Error while processing sales order as factory calendar missing.

"factory calendar missing or error in factory calendar".iam getting this error while processing sales order even though i have assigned it to shipping point and plant and sales org.

Hi Malik, How are you? I'm sorry to trouble you,
Let me introduce, I'm Daniel, and I saw your fantastic asnwer in
the topic "How to update Factory Calendar in SRM", and might I have the same
problem. It's with the "factory calendar".
In transaction va02 when I choose a Delivery Date, and I sent it to process, as
a result in the "shipping tab" it calculated to the first item one date, and to
the rest one date different. I don't know What it happen?
I debugged the program and I saw that to the first item use to calculate the
date is the function 'APO_SCHEDULING', and to the rest item use
'SD_SCHEDULING', and until here I come.
How can I do to what the dates calculated are the same? or What would be the
problem?
I need the dates calculated are equal.
I looked at it's using two "factory calendar" which are "J4" and "C2". Is this
correct?
Thanks In Advance,
My best regards,

LSO - Issue with Factory calendar End Year and creation of New courses

Hi,
Recently we are experiencing an Issue in LSO with the system hanging while creation of "Course with Resources".
Upon Analysis we identified that while creating course with resources and by checking "Period without Days off" option references the set factory calendar in LSO config and since this set Factory Calendar has an End Year in 2005, the system hangs trying to reference this factory calendar.
For some course types we are unable to even enter the course creation Data screen. These course types have " Main schedule" (with / without pattern) pre defined.
The issue does not seem to occur if we extend the factory calendar to current period or future.
Please let me know if anybody has faced this issue, if extending the factory calendar the right solution and what is the impact of exteding a factory calendar in HR module. Is the factory calendar referenced anywhere else in HR module?
Note: in LSO config you can set the factory calendar in Training and Event Management>SAP Learning Solution>Training Management>Basic settings>Control Options for Days Off,
Regards

Date is outside the factory calendar range

I am trying to run a BW query. When I click on the calnedar icon field. It gives this error.
Error: Date is outside the factory calendar range
Msg No. FK884
What could be the problem in the query? Has anybody had the similar problem before? I tried to search in SAP notes and could not find anything close to this.
I will Appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
Abhi

Hi Abhijit,
We got the same error message in 2010.
1) Check in transaction SCAL that the Factory Calendar ID 01 (i.e. German) is valid to 2009. This explains the error message.
2) Found SAP Note 1136142 about the configuration of default factory calendar ID of F4 Help and hierarchy for Time-characteristics in BI 7.0.
SAP Note Solution:
The key figure attribute obtains its value from the default work calendar as it is maintained in transaction RSRHIERARCHYVIRT (General Settings -> Default Factory Cal. ID).
This setting is valid across the entire system and does not permit any variable selection of the factory calendar for each query.
Furthermore, a value for 0NUMWDAY is calculated only for the period in which the default factory calendar is valid.
3) Check in transaction SCAL that the Factory Calendar ID of our location is valid to 2050.
The problem is solved after changed the Default Factory Cal. ID from 01 to the ID of our location in transaction RSRHIERARCHYVIRT.
Regards,
Ricky

BEx variables: Date is outside Factory Calendar Image

Good day
A user received the following message when selecting the inpiut help for a date variable for a CRM query:
" Date is outside Factory Calendar Image"
I have checked tcode SCAL and noticed that the factory calendar for South Africa = 1996 to 2010. I checked the CRM source and their factory calendar is the same. In the mean time I have transferred the global settings for SAP DNI (parts) into BW and the factory calendar setting for South Africa now shows 1996 to 2015.
Problem is that the CRM query still shows the same error message.
Question:
1) Should factory calendar settings for all SAP sources (Modules i.e. CRM...) be imported into BW, or is there another setting that I must check?
Thanks in advance.
Cj

This is what I have done:
Whe have the following R/3 modules (source systems in BW)
SAP DNI
SAP dFM
SAP CRM
SAP SRM
etc.
(Tcode = SCAL, selected 'factory calendar', selected 'rebuild tables')
Firstly I have transferred the global settings for SAP CRM (as the BEX query is from CRM). Their factory date was 2012. This did not solve the problem.
secondly, I did SAP DNI, their factory date = 2015, this also did not solve the problem.
I then transferred the global settings for SAP dFM, our main reporting module, their factory date = 2020. The problem was solved.
Seems as if only ONE of the modules depicts the factory calendar date for BEX.
I have rested this again and only SAP dFM global settings rectified the BEx display problem.
Hope this helps?

Problem with OSS note 1529649 - Factory calendar expires 2010

Hi Experts,
I found a OSS note that is telling that calendar validity ends in 2010.
For the moment in my system factory calendar for all my sites is valid till 2020.
My question is that doesn't matter what date i have now in the system the validity will finish?
What i should do!!!
Thanks a lot for your help.

Dear
If the factory calender and holady calendar which is assinged in FC , both have same validity , then there should not be any problem .
For consistency , you can go down to OP03-Slecet HC-Change Mode -Keep the valaidty along with all the public holday calander validity till 2011 or 2012 .Similarly , do the same in Factory calander .
But re-assing the Calander to Plant once again in OP03 -Plant Assingent tab or re-assing at WC ( CR02-Capacity tab -Standard Avalaable Capacity ) also if you have similar kind of canalder also .
Hope this helps
Regards

Factory calendar doesnt exist

Hi,All........
We are creating production order manually with matrl, Prod. Plant and order type as input...When we enter required quantity for Production and finish date as we are using Backward Scheduling.
The system throwing a messgae that factory calendar Z3 does not exist.
Message no:co034......
Pls guide me to resolve the issue.
what needs to be checked in the system.
Rgds,
Yogesh.....

Hi Yogesh,
It seems that you have assigned the factory calendar Z3 to plant or to the workcenter used in the routing for the material.
This customizing you may have carried forward but probably you have not carried the factory calendar Z3 customising to the client where you are trying to create the order.
Hence create the factory calendar in customising (SCAL-Tcode) in the client you are working.
I hope this will help resolve your problem once the factory calendar has being defined in the client you are working.
Thanks & Regards.

Set deadline according to factory calendar

Hi workflow experts,
I have 3 questions regarding deadline monitoring.
1. Is it possible to use bussiness days from factory calendar instead of calendar days for workitem deadline ?
2. Is there a FB for changing the deadline of a workitem ? I found only SAP_WAPI_GET_DEADLINES for reading the deadline.
3. what is the simplest way of repeating the modeled action ( in my case send a reminder mail) for overdue workitems every day after they got overdued ?
best regards
Kerstin

Hi guys,
thank you. Seems nobody uses the built-in deadline handling because of its poorness ?
I have a simple task:
- monitor the deadlines of all user decision steps in my workflow ( based on working days)
- send a reminder email after the deadline is reached to the actor
- send an email every working day to the same actor until the workitem status is COMPLETED.
I would like to do this without a lot of additional modeling.
In sdn there are some other suggestions for repeated escalation to the same actor:
- delete the workitem and recreate it with new creation date to achieve a repeated escalation action triggred by workflow engine
User Decision - Deadline monitoring - Obsolete workitem
In How to Create General UWL Notifications the deprecated SWW_WI_CREATE is used where the LATEST_END_DATE is an import parameted.
I'm still not sure which is a simple and robust solution - may be I will use the deprecated FM too if there is no alternative.
regards
Kerstin

Which Factory Calendar is used to determine the Sales Order delivery date

Hi ,
There is Factory calendar assigned to sales Org and shipping point as well.
I want to know which Factory calendar is used to determine the promise date on sales order acknowledgement and which one is used to determine the delivery date?
Appreciate your help/inputs.
Regards,
Ram

Ramy,
I am not sure what you mean by 'promise date'. For a given sales order item confirmation schedule, the system calculates the following dates:
Delivery Date
Goods Issue date
Loading Date
Material Availability date
Transportation planning date.
These dates are dependent upon what you have configured, and what your master data is. If you have transportation scheduling turned on (IMG>SD>Basic Functions>Delivery scheduling and transportation scheduling), then the durations are:
Route duration (transit), - affected by factory calendar assigned to the route (0VTC, that's a zero)
Picking time, packing time, Transportation planning time, and Loading time- affected by the factory calendar assigned to the shipping point (OVLZ, not a zero)
In addition, the Material availability date will be affected by the calendar assigned to the plant (WB03). The calculated dates may also differ on a given order schedule line, based on whether the sales order is backward scheduled or forward scheduled. This is particularly important when the calendars all have different holiday schedules.
Standard SAP help on the matter, with a couple of nice pictures.

Factory calendar : closed date and expedition

Hello Friends,
I'm new in SAP. I want to know what happens if I close a day in the factory calendar ? Would it be possible
to post goods issues or goods receipt ?
Is there different calendars possible ? receipts calendar ? customer calendar ?
Thanks a lot.
Romeo

Hi,
There is no different posting for goods receipt and goods issue and so on. The posting period is GL Account posting which allow the GL Account posting so as to reflect that in P&L and Balance sheet of the company code, so as to give a real time reporting from SAP system.You cannot do posting on the dates for which period is closed. you need to change goods receipt and goods Issue date manually.You can check the same through transaction code MMPV, provided you have authorization of it.
