Business value
Minimize time spent to update calendars by using base calendars that enable centralized updates to cascade into multiple individual calendars.
Feature details
Base calendars establish a hierarchical structure in which a single centralized calendar update is automatically distributed to all individual calendars that use that calendar as a base. Planning Optimization support for base calendars provides great flexibility in terms of creating specific calendars and assigning them to production resources.
