Symptom
Planned work hours are not displayed in the Resource Calendar for an employee on a date defined as a half-day holiday in SAP Business ByDesign.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Business Analytics work center.
- Open the Design Data Sources view.
- Search for and open the Resource Calendar report.
- Enter the Employee ID.
- Select a date that is defined as a half-day holiday.
- In the View section, add the Date field.
- Run the report.
- Observe that no planned work hours are displayed.
Cause
- In the Resource Calendar, planned work is proportionally distributed between the start and end dates of the work package, considering only the employee’s working days.
- The system uses the following formula to determine planned hours per day: Planned Hours per Day = Total Planned Work ÷ (End Date – Start Date – (Days Off + Holidays + Absences))
- Half-day holidays are included under holidays and non-working time, are therefore excluded from this calculation.
- As a result, no planned hours are assigned on those dates.
Resolution
- During resource planning, half-day holidays are considered non-working time. As a result, the system does not assign or display any planned work hours for these dates in the Resource Calendar.
- This is expected system behavior.
