Hello fellow users - does anyone have a high-level summary of the ‘Holidays’ functionality?

I understand the intent is that these are broad ‘days off’ that can be set for ‘All Nodes’ or specific Nodes, but what is the system implication of these days listed.

Will DSE know to not schedule people to work on these days?

Thank you,

David

Hi David,

Correct, the DSE does take into account the defined holidays due to availability.  So does the PM scheduling, shifts and pricing calculations for labor.

Hi Phil - when setting the Holidays by node, does it pick up node descendants?

Also, is this the node on the order or the employee?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

 


Hi David,

To answer the first question, there is an option to apply the holidays to ALL nodes or you will have to define holidays per node.  Please see this extract from the Organization Setup.pdf.

Holidays are referenced on the employee node.  The way I think of it, a customer/site may adhere to a different holiday schema (perhaps non-national holidays) which you would not normally register in Alliance.  National holidays i would expect both site and employee would follow but other than that.  Point is, the design is towards the employee and your organization.
