Calendar
In PeopleSoft Manufacturing, a list defining the days your enterprise is available and the hours
of operation for each day. The system first looks to see whether you are using a work center
specific calendar. If none is defined, it looks at the production calendar. If no production
calendar is defined, planning and scheduling functions base start and due dates on a five-day
workweek.
In PeopleSoft Demand Planning and Inventory Planning, a list defining the start and end dates
for each time-phased period. It also contains daily weights for distributing raw data into
different period buckets.
In PeopleSoft General Ledger, your accounting calendar defines the time periods to which you
post transactions for different ledger group and business unit combinations. You can have
multiple calendars, so you can keep a calendar for actuals, another for budget and forecast
activity, and still others for special reporting or transitional needs.
