Calendars
A calendar represents a numeric value that is varying over time.
Different other models refer to calendars for any property that changes over time:
A location refers to a calendar to define the working hours and holidays.
A resource refers to a calendar to define the working hours and holidays.
A supplier refers to a calendar to define the working hours and holidays.
An operation refers to a calendar to define the working hours and holidays.

A resource refers to a calendar to define the resource size varying over time.
A buffer refers to a calendar to define the safety stock varying over time.
A calendar has multiple buckets to define the values over time. See calendar buckets for more details. To determine the calendar value at a certain date the calendar will evaluate each of the buckets and combine the results in the following way:
- A bucket is only valid from its “start” date (inclusive) till its “end” date (exclusive).Outside of this date range a bucket is never selected.
- If multiple bucket are effective on a date, the one with the lowest “priority” value is taken.In case buckets have the same priority, the value of the bucket with the latest start date is selected.
In case no bucket is effective on a certain date, the calendar will return the “default” value.
