The function +/- Working days (Integration function) calculates a target date based on a given source date, modified by an integer number of working days earlier or later, which is returned as the result.

The calculation applies the following principles:

• Sundays are generally considered non-working days.

• Parameter d defines globally whether Saturdays should be considered as a non-working day (false, default) or as a working day (true).

  • More detailed information (such as an explicit holiday calendar) is not taken into account. This is done by the Calendar filter, which is available in the context of Event handling or Association criteria.

• Whether the source date (parameter a) is a working day or not has no influence on the calculation.

• Parameter b (+ or - sign) and parameter c (number of working days) determine the desired time offset.
  

  • With a time offset of 0 working days, the source date is taken directly as the target date. It is then possibly not a working day.

• The time components in the source date are transferred directly to the target date.

  • If Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins or ends between the source date and the target date, the resulting time span is not an integer multiple of 24 hours.
