SAP HR Ticket:
I have been creating a number of work schedules and when generating them have noticed that the Bank holidays in May and August are not pulling through from the Holiday Calendar however, all other public holidays for Great Britain are e.g. Christmas, New Years and Easter.

I have displayed the Holiday calendar in question and viewed the definition and all public holidays are set up from 1990 - 2098. I have also clicked on the 'Display Calendar' icon and the May and August bank holidays are set up for 2008 however, when I view 2009 they are not set up.

How can I set the May and August bank holidays up for 2009 and ensure that are available in all work schedules?

Please follow the whole configuration of the holiday, then, the creation of the DWS and the PWS.

For this, start checking in 

SPRO -> Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Define Public Holiday Classes 

SPRO -> Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Daily Work Schedules -> Define Rules for Variants

SPRO -> Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Day Types -> Define Selection Rules

SPRO -> Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules -> Set Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules

Those are the main points related with the holiday configuration in a PWS. After this, generate the PWS.

The bank holidays for 2009 may be set up as "moveable holiday" which requires you to enter the date in the public holiday for 2009, if you have 2010 dates you can enter those as well. You can check these via tcode SCAL, after you make changes to the public holiday/s all work schedules that use the calendar/s for the public holiday need to be generated.

Remember to transport the calendars once you have changed them, calendars are not automatically added to a transport when you make a change, it’s a manual processes.

If the Bank Holidays are fixed dates, then check the holiday calendar end date and end dates for the public holidays assign to the calendar ( tcode SCAL), end date could be 2008.

To create work schedule, just get in tcode PT01. In there, you create and you can check in PT03 the result. 

If in there is not appearing the new holiday that you created before, there is a problem in the configuration, you may have to check in SCAL the public holiday class of the holiday, then, check the rule variant in the DWS and PWS.

The following are what have work on my system:

• Inserted 2009 and 2010 public holiday dates for Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday and Late Summer Bank Holiday into the public holiday Calendar and saved the data.
• Assigned the public holidays to the Holiday calendar in question and saved the holiday calendar.
• Displayed the holiday calendar for 2009 and 2010 to check dates being brought through.
• Some public holiday's were being displayed twice, so I deleted these assignments.
• Saved the holiday calendar and rechecked calendar for 2009 and 2010 .
• I transported the public holiday and holiday calendar.
• Created a work schedule using PT01 .
• Checked public holidays were being brought through.
• Displayed work schedule using PT03
