2. Mark a calendar and push the pencil button/icon (to access edit mode)
3. Raise the end year to the desired value, and save.

(Note that this has to be done for each holiday calendar.)

1. Apply the same steps for the factory calendars - (Maintain Calendar 180007 > Factory Calendar)
2. After updating all calendars, the calendar buffer (Extras >Update calendar buffer) has to be refreshed.
3. The changes should be performed in the development system and should be transported to quality and production via the transport mechanism.
