Re: Calendar

Hi,

1. Yes you can. Either a) create a cyclical calendar with the normal activities you want and then add in activity calendar overrides or b) create an annual calendar which doesnt allow any activities on the standard national holiday dates.

2. There is some functionality in OTM to ignore certain planning constraints when you are building a shipment. This allows the user to select which constraints e.g. calendars should be ignored when building a shipment from the UI. There is some additional configuration required to enable this which I seem to remember is at the DB level and cannot be set via the UI (needs checking). Look for Igore Planning Constraints in the online help.

If you provide more details on the "specific situations" there may be other ways of achieving the same result (as is usually the case with OTM).
