Section 11
Holidays Table

This table permits you to specify which days are scheduled holidays at your location. It will display a warning message asking if you wish to use that date for your accounting date during the Start Of Day process. If you indicate NO the program will return to the date selection grid, where you can pick another date. If you say YES it will allow you to continue and will use the selected date as the accounting date. Each field in the table is listed, along with a short description, below:
  1. HOLIDAY_DATE

    This is the date of the holiday.
  2. HOLIDAY_NAME

    This is the name of a holiday (e.g, NEW YEAR'S DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, etc.)
  3. DEPT_CODE

    This is the specific department for which this holiday applies. If set to ALL (the default) the holiday will apply to all departments ... if set to one specific department it will apply only to that department. This situation might occur if you have the RASWIN program in use is several departments and one department has a holiday (such as FIN) but another does not (such as REC or PD).

    In the event that the holiday applies to some departments but not ALL, you will need to make a separate entry for each one for which the holiday applies.
