      <Paragraph>To use calendars, you must link <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#CalendCode_tc" role="glossary">calendar codes</Link> to resources and <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#ResoActiType_tc" role="glossary">availability types</Link> to the type of
		activity for which the resource is used.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To view the available combinations of calendar codes and
		availability types, start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0150m000" role="session">Calendar Availability Types (tcccp0150m000)</GUIRef> session. You can sort the records
		by calendar code or by availability type.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Search path</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>If a package in LN requires calendar data for some resource, LN searches for an
		applicable calendar code for that specific resource. If no calendar is linked
		to that resource, LN searches for calendars at higher levels, up to the company calendar.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For example, in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>, LN checks whether a
		calendar code is linked to a work center. If no calendar code is linked to the
		work center, LN checks
		the enterprise unit and if no calendar is found there, the company. If LN does not find a
		calendar code, no planning takes place. The company calendar is always at the
		end of the search path.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The search path does not include the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#StandaCalend_tc" role="glossary">standard calendar</Link>. LN only uses the
		  standard calendar if a calendar code was found that does not cover all relevant
		  dates.</Paragraph>
