Occasionally, exceptions such as overtime or machine downtime cause changes in productivity and capacity for various shifts. When you set up calendar exceptions, you specify a reference, such as downtime, and the number of hours per day affected. This information displays in the Calendar Exception Maintenance grid within MSW/PSW. Negative numbers can display for downtime or holidays. Holidays are days when no production is scheduled. Holidays differ from site to site.

For information on setting up calendars, see QAD System Administration User Guide.
