Max Hours Calendar and Maximum Working Time

When the resource is setup for timesheets, he is assigned the 'Period Code' and a 'Max Hours Calendar', however 'Max Hours Calendar' is not mandatory.

In 'Max Hours Calendar' a calendar is selected which has hours specified for the weekdays. Mostly the value is 8 hours per day.

If the 'Max Hours Calendar' is defined on the 'Resource setup' form, then the system restricts the user from entering more hours on the timesheet than specified in the 'Max Hours Calendar'.

If the 'Max Hours Calendar' is NOT defined on the 'Resource setup' form, then the system DOES NOT restrict the user from entering more hours on the timesheet than specified in the 'Max Hours Calendar'.

However if the 'Max Hours Calendar' is defined on the 'Resource setup' form but the situation is such that max hours needs to be overridden for some days, then the user can make use of 'Maximum working time' and specify the values there.In this case system will always take the values from the 'Maximum working time' and not from the 'Max Hours Calendar'. In this case the system restricts the user from entering more hours on the timesheet than specified in the 'Maximum working time' for the days specified.

One small note about the 'Resource scheduling calendar' : The calendar selected here also updates / selects / changes the calendar selected in the 'Calendar' field in the 'Employment' tab of the employee.

The calendar selected in the 'Calendar' field in the 'Employment' tab of the employee is used for ELR.
