SAP reference for calendars, working days, and holidays

This page complements the planning calendar under the Community/Enterprise contracts.

SAP organizes calendars into public holidays, holiday calendars, and factory calendars. SCAL is the classic maintenance and inspection transaction; in SAP IBP, the Planning Calendars app can derive calendars from factory calendars.

dayOfWeekOrHoliday factory-calendar working/non-working day Convert to the OpsFactor enum
workingDaysEquivalence working-day indicator SAP typically provides 0/1; fractions need another rule

Do not copy generated calendar tables without validating a supported API/CDS view for the release. Extract effective horizon dates and record the source calendar ID. A reproducible occurrence ID is BR-SP-SP-2026-01-25.

A factory calendar can include company-specific exceptions, while OpsFactor models geographic hierarchy and fractional equivalence. Assigning an SAP calendar to each location is a required part of the mapping.
