This tutorial describes step-by-step procedure of creating and adding a new holiday to holiday
and factory calendar.
Note: It is not recommended to make any changes to the factory calendar in a production
system.
All the calendar data should be maintained in a customizing system.
Updates are done via transports from the customizing system.
As a special case a customizing client in the productive system can be established.
Changes in the customizing client will then directly affect the productive system, as the calendar
data is client-independent.
