Changing Holiday Dates on System Codes for next year in 3.1
Problem
How do we change the date of our Holidays in the system? Holidays Management only allows creating or deleting holidays. Is there a way to just change the year?
Solution
No. Holiday Codes are good for one date only, so a new Code must be made each year for all recurring holidays that you observe. For Example: New Year's Day is a recurring Holiday at your department. A separate New Year's Day Holiday Code must be made each year (i.e. New Year's Day 20xa, New Year's Day 20xb, New Year's Day 20xc, etc..). Whether you choose to look ahead in the calendar and make Codes for multiple years in one sitting or whether you choose to make Codes once a year for the coming year is up to your department policy.
