Project Calendars

The Project Task starting - and ending dates are based on the number of working days estimated for the Project Task. Non-working days are set with the Project Calendar. The Project Calendar is based on the standard Business Central functionality around Base Calendars and Customized Calendar entries and sets the non-working days for a Project.
Project Calendars are set in the following places:

• Projects Setup
  The default setting for Project Calendars is in the Projects Setup, type Projects Setup in the Search box to open the page and navigate to the Advanced Tab. At this location a Base Calendar Code can be selected (check the standard functionality on how to create and maintain Base Calendars). At the same location customized calendar entries can be created specifically for Projects. In this way one Company Calendar can be used for Projects, Service and Sales each with its own set of customized entries. The calendar in Projects Setup is the default setup and will be overruled by each of the following settings:
• Project Template
  Type Project Template in the Search box to open the Project Template and note that on each template a Base Calendar Code as well as Customized Calendar Entries can be created. In this way different calendars for different types of Projects can be set based on the template they are copied from.
• Project
  Open a Project card and note the Base Calendar Code and Customized Calendar Entries. These settings are copied from the Projects Setup which is overruled when a Base Template is copied or can be entered manually specifically for the Project.
