General
Use transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDCL to transfer holiday calendars from SAP ECC/S4 to SAP FSM.
The calendars are retrieved from table THOCI which stores calendars maintained in transaction SCAL.
Send all holiday rules | Calendars won’t be displayed in SAP FSM if all assigned holidays hadn’t been sent. This can be achieved by sending holidays with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDRL or checking the ‘Send all related holiday rules’ field. |
|---|---|
Send calendar assignments | Similarly, holiday assignments can be sent together with calendars by checking the ‘Send calendar assignment’ option. |
Note that it might be necessary to execute the sending transaction twice to ensure proper object creation order in SAP FSM.
Holiday calendar and assignments determination
The assignment of the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object determines how holiday calendars and holiday calendar assignments are retrieved.
By default (using the setup program), the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object is set as plant-dependent in transaction /PACG/ECM_EOAS - Object Assignment. It can be manually changed to be personnel area-dependent.
Learn more about these two approaches from the diagram below:
Plant assignment
Holiday calendars relevant for transfer to a given company are retrieved based on relation to a factory calendar assigned to a specific plant in transaction OX10.
E.g. the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object is assigned to ‘Plant’ (transaction /PACG/ECM_EOAS - Object Assignment). For this object in company 1, plant 1000 is assigned (transaction /PACG/ECM_PLAS - Plant Assignment).
After executing transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDCL - Trigger transfer of Holiday Calendar and specifying only the company ID (‘1’), the holiday calendar related to the factory calendar assigned to plant 1000 (transaction OX10) will be transferred to company 1.
Holiday calendar assignments are retrieved based on assignment of work centers to a specific plant. Active and plannable FSM-relevant technicians belonging to work centers related to the plants assigned in transaction /PACG/ECM_PLAS - Plant Assignment to object ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ will be transferred to SAP FSM as holiday calendar assignments.
Personnel area assignment
Holiday calendars relevant for transfer to a given company are retrieved based on assignment of a personnel subarea to a specific holiday calendar in SPRO transaction ‘Define Groupings for the Public Holiday Calendar’:
E.g. the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object is assigned to ‘Personnel area’ (transaction /PACG/ECM_EOAS - Object Assignment). For this object for company 1, personnel area 1000 is assigned (transaction /PACG/ECM_PAAS - Personnel Area assignments)
After executing transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_HLDCL - Trigger transfer of Holiday Calendar and specifying only the company ID (‘1’), the holiday calendar assigned in SPRO to the personnel subarea which belongs to the personnel area specified for the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object for company 1 (transaction /PACG/ECM_PAAS - Personnel Area assignments) will be transferred to company 1.
Holiday calendar assignments are retrieved based on assignment of active and plannable FSM-relevant users to a personnel subarea in transaction PA30, infotype 0001. If the personnel area of this personnel subarea can be found in transaction /PACG/ECM_PAAS - Personnel Area assignments for the ‘HOLIDAYCALENDAR’ object and a specific company, the holiday calendar assignment will be transferred to SAP FSM to a given company.
Sending transactions depending on object assignment
Depending on the plant or personnel area assignment, the sending transactions for calendars and calendar assignments will vary.
