When editing an existing holiday, you may have deleted or overwritten a holiday in the Holiday Calendar for the respective country.

When editing an existing holiday, do not delete or overwrite a holiday, because it could already be used by other processes like for example the computation of holidays for employees.

In the fine-tuning activity Working Day Calendar, when you edit a holiday from the List of Holidays, you can select the Type of the holiday.

When the type Floating Holiday is selected, you should not overwrite an existing date, but add additional dates for subsequent years via the Add Row button.

When the type Fixed Day of Week is selected, for example, in case you want to define a holiday for the 4th Friday in December, then from the List of Holidays, select the holiday which you created for the 4th Friday in December. Edit it and select the type Fixed Day of Week and enter the holiday rule only once which will be valid for all years.
