Calendar
A calendar says which dates are working days. Warehouses, vendors, resources, approvals and maintenance screens name a calendar; the HR product also keeps attendance rules on it.
What it is for
Each line of Calendar Working Time covers a range of dates with a time template, and marks weekends. Lines may not overlap.
The Attendance Allowance Slabs grid and the Policy tab are for payroll. The HR product (PeopleNest) reads it for attendance and payroll; no Businessflo screen reads it.

How to configure it
Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.
What it is connected to
- Picked on these company setup screens: Approval, Public Holiday, Resource.
- Picked on Warehouse in Inventory.
- Picked on Release Vendor In Legal Entity, Vendor In Legal Entity in Payables.
- Picked on Maintenance Plan - Time Based, Resource, Service Level in Service and maintenance.
If something looks wrong
- “Calendar - Line ID : … - Date From cannot be greater than Date To” A line ends before it starts.
- “Calendar - Line ID: … overlaps with Line ID: …” Two date ranges overlap.
- The other calendar messages (Payable %, slab limits, Wage Type, Amount, Attendance Allowance) concern the HR attendance allowance; fix the slab line named in the message.
