How it works

Use procurement order SLA window planning to translate planning SLA delivery windows into a repeatable plan. We summarize the rule set, run an example, and explain how to share the result.

If your schedule depends on planning SLA delivery windows, procurement order SLA window planning provides a concise method for counting dates and verifying results in 2027.

Start by confirming the trigger date and the end date that govern planning SLA delivery windows. Then select the counting rule that matches holiday calendars, business-day rules, and staffing constraints.

If multiple stakeholders are involved, share the inputs and counting rules alongside the result so everyone uses the same timeline.

  1. Confirm the official start date and end date for your scenario.
  2. Select the counting rule that matches holiday calendars, business-day rules, and staffing constraints.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
  4. Save the result with the inputs and assumptions for reuse.

Examples

  • Example policy check: plug in April 1, 2025 and July 18, 2025, then note which days are excluded based on holiday calendars, business-day rules, and staffing constraints.
  • Example timeline: April 1, 2025 to July 18, 2025 illustrates how the calculator treats weeks and partial months.
  • Example: April 1, 2025 through July 18, 2025 shows the baseline span. Use the breakdown to compare days, weeks, and months.

Why it matters

Why this matters: business-day calculations often affect contracts. A consistent method reduces disputes.
