Bank Holiday Management
The Bank Holiday Management screen is used to create and manage public holidays and events displayed in the Planning and Dispatching. Holidays and events can be assigned to specific calendars. Calendars can be maintained for specific countries or states that have differing public holidays.

An ongoing holiday affecting a technician can be seen on the Planning Board.

TRANSFER OF HOLIDAY RULES
General
...
It is recommended to use transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDCL - Trigger transfer of Holiday Calendar to transfer holiday calendars, holidays and assignments at once (enabled by the checkboxes).
Holiday calendars and their assignments can be retrieved based on plant or personnel area data. Learn more from the diagram below:
Sending process
Navigate to transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_
...
The holidays are selected by public holiday ID and are retrieved from table THOL.
...
HLDCL - Trigger transfer of Holiday Calendar and execute it for a specific company. Check the ‘Send all related Holiday rules’ and ‘Send calendar assignment’ options.
| Info |
|---|
It might be necessary to execute this transaction twice, to ensure that holiday rules are created before calendar creation. |
Holiday rules
The holidays are retrieved from table THOL for each relevant holiday calendar.
The mentioned table stores public holidays
...
maintained with SAP-standard transaction SCAL.
Holiday rule types
The implementation supports the following holiday rule types: F (fixed), U (floating)
...
, V (counted from Easter)
...
and 'W' (fixed weekdays).
F (fixed) – holidays with specified, fixed day and month
...
The holiday is sent to SAP FSM in /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLIDAYRULE idocs as type ‘FIXED’ and contains one month and day value.
...
U (floating) – with a set of month/day values
...
The holiday is sent to SAP FSM in /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLIDAYRULE idocs as type ‘FLOATING’. A range of dates is stored in separate ‘FLOATING_DATES’ segments.
...
V (calculated with Easter)
...
The holiday is sent to SAP FSM in /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLIDAYRULE idocs as type ‘FLOATING’.
...
The dates are stored in ‘FLOATING_DATES’ segments and are calculated by default for one year, unless a different value is specified in field of transaction /PACG/ECM_COMP.
W (fixed weekdays)
The holiday is sent to SAP FSM in /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLIDAYRULE idocs as type ‘FLOATING’. The dates are stored in ‘FLOATING_DATES’ segments and are calculated by default for one year, unless a different value is specified in field ‘NumOfYears’ of transaction /PACG/ECM_COMP - Company definition.
...
Half-day holidays
Holidays set as half-day (Holiday Class ‘2’) are sent to SAP FSM as the second-half-of-day holidays (the ‘Part of the day’ field).
Other holidays are sent as full-day.
TRANSFER OF CALENDARS
General
Use transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDCL to transfer holiday calendars from SAP ECC/S4 to SAP FSM.
...
Holiday calendars
The holiday calendars are retrieved from table THOCI which stores calendars maintained in transaction SCAL.
...
The holiday calendars relevant for sending to a given company are retrieved based on plant
...
or personnel area assignment of the
...
'HOLIDAYCALENDAR' object.

...
A holiday calendar should be assigned to a factory calendar (in transaction SCAL) which is assigned to a specific plant in transaction OX10.
...
The calendars are sent in idocs of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLCALENDAR. Each related holiday is included as a separate segment.
...
| Note |
|---|
For the calendar time zones to be sent correctly, it is necessary to maintain proper time zone conversion entries in transaction /PACG/ECM_TZCNV - Time zone conversion. |
...
Send all holiday rules
...
...
...
Similarly, holiday assignments can be sent together with calendars by checking the ‘Send calendar assignment’ option.
...
Valid years
In SAP FSM, calendars valid from a year which is in the past are not correct and cannot be changed. During calendar transfer it is checked if its ‘valid from’ year in table THOCI is at least the current year (e.g. 2020). The ‘valid to’ year should be at least (current year + 1).
...
If this is not the case, the current year is assigned automatically as ‘valid from’ and the ‘valid to’ year is determined based on the number of years specified in field
...
‘NumOfYears’ in transaction /PACG/ECM_COMP - Company definition (e.g. add 5 years to the current year). If this field is empty, one year is added to the current year value.
...
TRANSFER OF CALENDAR ASSIGNMENTS
Use transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDAS to transfer holiday calendar assignments from SAP ECC/S4 to SAP FSM.
...
Holiday calendar assignments
The person assignments are determined based
...
on plant or personnel areas, depending on assignment of the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object.
| Info |
|---|
Learn more about plant and personnel area approaches: /PACG/ECM_ |
...
Holiday calendar assignments are sent in idocs of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_HOLCALASS.
...
In SAP FSM a user can be assigned to one calendar only.
Assignment sent with an employee
...
Holiday calendar assignments can be
...
transferred automatically when an employee is transferred (e.g. after user modification in transaction /PACG/ECM
...
_MAINT_USER). The functionality can be enabled by checking the
...
‘SendClAssg’ field in transaction /PACG/ECM_USERG – User - general settings.
