Business Closed Days Overview

Use the Business Closed Days Maintenance program to create a list of dates when your business is closed. The system uses this list when calculating a product's availability date.

Create the business closed days list as far as you want into the future. These days do not affect the plenty date calculation.

Creating a List of Closed Days

When creating a list of closed days, we recommend that you:

First, create a list of all special days that your business is closed, for example, holidays or a day when your business is closed for inventory. Enter these days in the Business Closed Day screen, chronologically.
Then, use the Date Scheduler screen to add the days of the week that your business is normally closed, for example, Saturday and Sunday. The system creates a list of all of the closed days and places the special days in the proper sequence.

If you reverse this process, you must advance through the list and insert each special closed day in the proper sequence.

Editing a List of Business Closed Days

You can add new dates to the business closed days list at any time. The system requires that you add the date in the proper sequence on a blank line. You can type over a date provided the revised date is still in the proper sequence. Otherwise, you need to delete the old date and then add the revised date in the appropriate location.

For example, you set up New Year's Day and the day after as closed days and then decide to change the closed days to New Year's Day and the day before. To do this, delete the entry for January 2nd and then insert a new line before January 1st and create an entry for December 31st.
