The Construction Period screen manages the progress call periods for production. Each construction progress period must be entered into the system before progress calls can be created for each job.
A progress period is a seven-day period for which days can be individually selected as non-progress. By default, a progress period has five possible progress days (e.g., working/business days) and two non-progress days (weekend). Other non-progress days, such as public holidays, can be manually entered for a progress week if they differ to the public holidays allocated in the Construction calendar (which runs across all region/divisions). This applies in particular to region/divisions that relate to different states and therefore have some different public holidays. These can be manually adjusted for each region/division via the weekly construction progress periods.
