Common data > BP tables > Unavailable periods 

This function is used to define the unavailable periods (periods during which a business partner is not open). Such a calendar is defined by a code of 3 characters and this code can be entered at the level of the customers (ship-to customer tab), the suppliers and the sites. These calendars are used notably :

 for all the production planning operations (for example the scheduling) as a function of the production site.

 for the determination of the receipt dates as a function of the site and for the order lead-times for the supplier (purchase).

 to define the possible delivery days at the customers and for the determination of the possible shipment days for each sales site (sales).

It should be noted that only the exceptional closure days are entered here. In fact, in each of the records identified above, indicators are used to define which days in the week at the BP or site is closed.
