Preventing order generation on non-working days
You can make calendar-based settings to prevent orders being generated on non-working days in Activity planner. The calendar linked to the property is considered first when generating maintenance orders. If there is no calendar set for the property, the default company calendar is used. It is not possible to take personal calendars of tradespeople into account. The setting only determines the (planned) start date of the generated PPM orders. It will not affect the planned start date of the maintenance activities.
Procedure
1. Go to Field definer > Business Objects selection level, select the Activity definitions (base) business object.
 | This business object is used in Activity planner (Activity planner TSI). |
2. On the Status transitions action panel, click Under construction.
3. On the System business objects action panel, click Business objects settings.
