Dear Experts,
Scenario A
I created a time stream ID with a calendar that has fixed holidays in normal week days. I calculated the periods using "Period Calendar (without gaps)"
This time stream is used to initialize the planning area with storage in months and weeks.
April 2014 - 5000 - data view all in calendar months
Qty split such in - data view which is all in calendar weeks
| 31.03.2014 - 06.04.2014 | 07.04.2014 - 13.04.2014 | 14.04.2014 - 20.04.2014 | 21.04.2014 - 27.04.2014 | 28.04.2014 - 04.05.2014 |
| 1000 | 1167 | 1167 | 1167 | 500 |
Here the period 31.03.2014 to 06.04.2014 and 28.04.2014 to 04.05.2014 were holidays in my calendar.
Planning area de-initialized
Scenario B
I created another time stream ID (for same planning area) with the same calendar. I calculated the periods using "Working Time Calendar (with gaps)". Assigned to the same storage bucket profile. Same Planning area initialized.
Enter
April 2014 - 5000 - data view all in calendar months
Quantity split such in data view which is all in calendar weeks
| 24.03.2014 - 30.03.2014 | 07.04.2014 - 13.04.2014 | 14.04.2014 - 20.04.2014 | 21.04.2014 - 27.04.2014 | 12.05.2014 - 18.05.2014 |
| 1667 | 1667 | 1667 |
As you can see the holiday periods 31.03.2014 - 06.04.2014 and 28.04.2014 - 04.05.2014 are not seen here
Now the storage buckets view (no gaps) as it follows from above table... is all good.
| 24.03.2014 | 31.03.2014 | 01.04.2014 | 07.04.2014 | 14.04.2014 | 21.04.2014 | 28.04.2014 | 01.05.2014 | 05.05.2014 |
| 1667 | 1667 | 1667 |
Questions:
- Is this the expected standard system behavior ?
-If periods 31.03.2014 - 06.04.2014 and 28.04.2014 - 04.05.2014 were my holidays, why should time based factors split something to these periods in scenario A or to be more precise why should there be time based weighting factors in holidays, irrespective of how the time stream is calculated? As for a start I am using a factory calendar than has these dates as holidays (I do read in help.com that calculation basis and calculation rule are both inputs to calculation of default proportions for the planning area storage buckets.... also called time based weighting factors of time stream which is all nice to read without a clue)
-I was expecting to see holiday periods 31.03.2014 - 06.04.2014 and 28.04.2014 - 04.05.2014 in second table (data view) above with the outcome being nothing split to these buckets which is why I am doing all this! I expect so because If I so wish, I MIGHT as well be able to enter the values in the said week buckets that has holidays.
Is my expectation consistent and logical?
PS: Disagg-settings for this key figure is S-Calc Type and P-Time Based.
Thanks
