Posted on by 144

Hi,

In my own code I need to do backward scheduling and forward scheduling considering non-working days based on the DateFormula-Field Item."Lead Time Calculation"
Is there a simple standard function I can use for this.

Thanks in Advance
Ralf

    Hi, have you investigated codeunit 7600 "Calendar Management"?

    For example,

    Hope this can give you some hints.

    Thanks.

    RE: Backward scheduling and forward scheduling considering non-working days

    The base calendar is assigned and I have indicated what are working days and what are not working day.

    But I have trouble recognizing and using the help function in the CU 7600. My code below works correctly but is very inefficient, so I would like to use this helper function. Could I get an example of forward and backward scheduling?

    procedure fnCalculateDateBackward(parDueDate: Date; parDateformula: DateFormula) StartDateL: Date
    var
        NumerOfDaysL: Integer;
        I: Integer;
    begin
        StartDateL := parDueDate;
        NumerOfDaysL := (CalcDate(parDateformula, 20010101D) - 20010101D);
    
        for I := 1 to NumerOfDaysL do begin
            StartDateL := CalcDate('<-1D>', StartDateL);                
            if CalenderMgmtG.IsNonworkingDay(StartDateL, CustomizedCalenderChange) then begin
                I := I - 1;
            end;
        end;        
    end;

    You should start by setting up a base calendar were you indicate what is working days and what are not working days.

    Then you take that calendar into considerations when you do your calculation.

    learn.microsoft.com/.../across-how-to-assign-base-calendars

    Then you have  codeunit 7600 "Calendar Management" that have some helper function that can help you find the next working day etc.
