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.
| OpsFactor | Nearby SAP concept | Required transformation |
|---|---|---|
| national/state/city holiday | holiday + assigned holiday calendar | Relate each calendar to location geography |
holidayDate, holidayName |
holiday occurrence and text | Expand recurring rules into horizon dates |
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.
