Edit Business Calendar Dates

Once you create a business calendar, you can define non-business days for the calendar. Non-business days are holidays or any other day when normal business processing does not take place for a particular country. For example, January 1 is a non-business day for a U.S. business calendar. The New York Stock Exchange web site provides a list of U.S. holidays that you can reference when defining non-business days for a U.S. business date calendar. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) web site provides a list of U.S. holidays that you can reference when defining non-business days for a U.S. settlement date calendar.

Saturdays and Sundays are automatically defined as non-business days when you create business calendars.

To edit business calendar dates:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Calendars > Business Calendars > Edit Business Calendar Dates.
    You see the Edit Business Calendar Dates panel.

  2. In the Calendar Name field, specify the calendar for which you are defining non-business days.
    After you enter the calendar name, the Calendar Description field displays a description of the calendar.

  3. In the Add/Update Calendar Dates section at the bottom of the panel, click the Calendar Date date selector, and enter the date of the non-business day using the calendar.

  4. In the Non-Business Day field, indicate whether the specified date is a non-business day.
    Options include Yes (Default) and No.

  5. In the Holiday Name field, enter a description for the non-business day. 
    You can describe the holiday or weekend date.

  6. Repeat Steps 4-6 for each non-business day you want to define.
    NOTE:  For countries where Saturdays are considered business days, add each Saturday as a business day by setting the Non-Business Day field to a value of No.

  7. Click Submit.
