You can define time periods where machine centres cannot be used.

The machine centres are not assigned their own shop calendar. The shop calendar of the work centre is used.

The calendar for the machine centre is calculated from the entries of the assigned shop calendar and the calendar absence entries of the machine centre.

The result of the calculation is entries in the calendar for the machine centre.

To enter time periods when machine centres cannot be used

  1. In the Search box, enter Machine Centres, and then choose the related link.

  2. Open the relevant Machine Centre card from the list.

  3. On the Navigate tab, in the Planning group, choose Absence.

  4. Fill in the Date, Starting Time, and Ending Time fields for the planned absence.

    These calendar absence entries are only valid for the selected machine centre.

  5. On the Navigate tab, in the Absence group, choose Update to calculate the calendar entries for the machine centre. This must be done every time you enter calendar entries.
