Hi experts,
I am facing an issue with the configuration of the season types.
I need to configure season types for summer and winter, and also define an offset change that applies during summer days. Therefore, offset change and season change must apply at the same time.
Our offset change (and therefore the summer time) happens from last sunday of March until last sunday of October. This means it changes every year (are not fixed dates as those pre-configured by SAP).
Standard offset configuration allows to define flexible rules to identify which are the days, months during which offset change applies, and also allows to define different rules by year. No problem here.
The problem is in the definition of season types. Here we can define which is the period (day and month) for summer and winter, but we cannot introduce the year value during the definition.
This means that if we want to set summer period from last sunday of march to last sunday of october, we can set a summer season type that goes, for 2014, from 30.03.2014 to 26.10.2014, but next year we will have to change the config.
Has anyone faced a similar issue? Is there a way to introduce a more flexible season types configuration that allow us to set the same rules applied for the offset?
Thanks and regards
Rafael
