Pair business calendars with packages

Pair a business calendar that you created with a package, or functional area, in the ServiceNow AI Platform. When you associate a business calendar with a package, it enables the use of the calendar in that specific functional area. Until you pair a business calendar definition with at least one package, it remains a definition record only.

Role required: business_calendar_admin

About this task

A package is an application, or generic set of functions, such as HR Service Delivery or Finance Close Automation, in the ServiceNow AI Platform. For example, if you created a fiscal calendar, you can associate it with the Finance Close Automation package.

Note: Within a single calendar package record, you can only associate a business calendar with a single package. To associate business calendars with multiple packages, you have to create multiple calendar package records. For example, if you created a fiscal calendar and want to associate it with the HR and Fixed Assets packages:

  • In the first record you create, in the Calendar field, select the fiscal year, and in the Package field, select HR.
  • In the second record you create, you again select the same fiscal calendar, and then select Fixed Asset in the Package field.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Business Calendar > Calendars for Package.

  2. Select New.

  3. On the form, fill in the fields.
