Use this function to define shift patterns.
Shift patterns are fixed working patterns that include working days and non-working days within a 7-day week. Each weekly structure or shift can consider shift overlap, shift change times and incidents that regularly affect a shift pattern such as training, holidays and machine downtime.
Weekly structures are associated with work centers.
You must define an 'empty' weekly structure with each day of the week set to blank. The empty structure is used by the system for factory closures.
Refer to documentation Implementation
The Weekly structure function contains a single screen into which you define a shift pattern for a 7-day week.
Presentation
You use this screen to define a single shift pattern. You are advised to give each shift pattern a logical name such as 3-day shift or 24/7 shift. This will make it easier to assign the correct shift to a work center.
Each working day of the week is attributed to a Time table schema. The schema defines the actual start time and actual end time of the working day. The start and end time of breaks such as lunch breaks or machine downtime might be predefined within the schema. The assigned working pattern is defined in the Time table schemas function (GESDIH).

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Weekly structure
|
Use this field to define the code for this weekly structure. For example, the time structure defines a start time at 8 AM and a end time at 5:42 PM (i.e. 7 hours and 42 minutes of work). A suitable structure code for this scenario would be: 7H42. Calendars are used for calculating the capacity of a work center. |
|
This long description is used as a title in screens and reports. This title can be translated and is recorded in the user's connection language.
|
|
Short title used in the screens and reports. This title is recorded in your connection language. By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.
|
Normal capacity
|
Use this field to define, in hours, the length of a standard working day for the relevant weekly structure. For example, enter 10:00 if the length of the standard working day, or for the team, is ten hours long. You cannot enter a value that is greater than 24 hours. |
|
  |
Daily capacity
|
Use this field to define, in hours, the length of the working day for the relevant weekly structure. For example, enter 10:00 if the working time for the day, or for the team, is ten hours. Leave blank if this is a non-working day.

Time table schema
Use this field to assign a specific time table schema (or a team schema) to a particular day of the week. The time table schema uses the 24 hour clock. It defines the actual start time and actual end time for this working day or shift. The schema might also include predefined breaks between the start end end time of the shift such as lunch breaks, shift change times and incidents that regularly affect a working day such as machine downtime. You can attribute a single time, as required, to multiple days of a working week. This field is mandatory if you use a scheduling solution such as Production Scheduler or Sage X3 Web Scheduling. You can leave this field blank for any working day. For each working day with a blank time table schema the scheduling calculation uses the time table schema defined for the parameter DEFDIH – Default schedule (GPA chapter, LOA group). This can result in an incorrect scheduling calculation if the number of hours defined for the parameter time table schema is greater or less than the daily capacity (field 1 day (field DAYCAPNOM)).

Weekly cumulative
|
This field displays the total duration of the relevant weekly structure. |

This field displays the unit of time in which this figure is expressed. |
