Overview
Non-working day calendars define which dates are treated as working days and which are excluded from calculations. In UniPhi 21, multiple calendars can be created and assigned to different projects.
Calendars are primarily used where UniPhi calculates business-day based timeframes, such as:
Contractual response periods
Issue and obligation workflows
Payment schedule calculations (e.g. certification and due dates)
They ensure due dates are calculated correctly without landing on weekends, public holidays or shutdown periods.
Where Non-Working Day Calendars Are Used
In UniPhi 21, calendars influence:
Contractual workflows where actions must occur within a set number of business days
Payment schedules that calculate certification and due dates from a base date
Any configuration where a duration is defined in business days rather than calendar days
Each project uses its assigned calendar to determine what qualifies as a business day.
How to Create a Non-Working Day Calendar
Go to Configuration > Financial Years.
Open the Non-Working Day sub-navigation.
Click to create a New Calendar by clicking the Plus yellow button.
Name the calendar clearly (e.g. “New South Wales”, “Victoria”, “Construction Calendar”).
Mark the relevant non-working days, including: Weekends (if applicable), Public holidays, Shutdown periods.
Save the calendar.
You can create multiple calendars to reflect different regions or operating environments.
How to Assign the Correct Calendar to a Project
Creating the calendar alone is not sufficient. It must be assigned to the project.
Select the relevant Project in the Summary screen.
Select the Edit Subnavigation
Locate the Calendar field.
Choose the appropriate calendar from the dropdown list.
Click Save.
Once assigned, all business-day calculations within that project will follow the selected calendar.
Benefits of Multiple Calendars
Multiple calendars allow:
Different regions to follow their own public holidays
Construction projects to use different working patterns from corporate projects
Contractual response dates to remain compliant with local requirements
This reduces manual date adjustments and improves consistency in contract administration.
