Assuming you want to reflect a 06:30-18:30 work time followed by an 18:30-02:30 (following day) work time starting on Sunday at 06:30 and ending on Thursday at 02:30.

You will need three day types, and the Period Start Day in the Schedule will be Sunday.

  1. DT1 - assign to Sunday in the Schedule (Working Time = 1050).
    1. 06:30-18:30 WORK
    2. 18:30-00:00 WORK
  2. DT2 - assign to Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday in the Schedule (Working Time = 1200).
    1. 00:00-02:30 WORK
    2. 06:30-18:30 WORK
    3. 18:30-00:00 WORK
  3. DT3 - assign to Thursday in the Schedule (Working Time = 150).
    1. 00:00-02:30 WORK

Also, after generating the calendars, check that the Working Time on each day S/M/T/W/Th is correct. If not, you may need to assign a different Period type (e.g., WORK2) on either the 18:30-00:00 interval on DT1/DT2 or the 00:02:30 interval on DT2/DT3.

Note - It is not required to have the 06:30-00:00 interval split at 18:30. From experience, though, having it split makes it easier to assign the 18:30-00:00 hours to the next day if required.

Hi @vs.sukesh,

Seems this needs to be fixed in the core application as well. Have you raised a ticket to IFS Support on this?

 

Best Regards,

@Chandima Pathirana @vs.sukesh I do not believe anything needs fixed. The From/To Times in Day Types can be defined only from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM. The graphic below should help.

Also, a nice enhancement would be to allow the First Period in a Day Type to belong to the Previous Day.
