[One-off and partial closed business days](/doc/docs/create-a-full-or-partial-closed-business-day-event) are created as [events](/doc/docs/manager-tools-events). Recurring weekly closed days are configured in the [operating hours settings](/doc/docs/manage-location-hours#set-closed-days-for-a-location) within [labor hours settings](/doc/docs/location-hours-settings-group). --- ## Closed Business Days Impact on Forecasting ### Forecasting Week View In [week view](/doc/docs/weekly-forecasting-forecasting-page#week-view) on the Forecasting page, when a location is closed for the full day, that day is marked as ‘Closed’, and the sales and labor forecasts are not editable. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-U4T8PBI2.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A33%3A20Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A33%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GCAVnCAHC01RbP2kyqfDzGqhumDCE9Kq0bhV5bD3zf4%3D) ### Forecasting Day View In [day view](/doc/docs/weekly-forecasting-forecasting-page#day-view) on the Forecasting page, when a location is closed for a full or partial day, each closed time increment (hour, 30-minute, or 15-minute) is marked as ‘Closed’, and the sales and labor forecasts for those increments are not editable. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-A3RBOKO0.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A33%3A20Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A33%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GCAVnCAHC01RbP2kyqfDzGqhumDCE9Kq0bhV5bD3zf4%3D) ### Forecasting Review Projection Dates Page On the [Review Projection Dates page](/doc/docs/weekly-forecasting-review-projection-dates-page), when the location is closed for the **full day,** ‘Projected Sales’ are displayed as ‘Closed’ in the header and and a message appears in the ‘Projection Dates’ section indicating that the location is closed. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-G2HA9XXI.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A33%3A20Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A33%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GCAVnCAHC01RbP2kyqfDzGqhumDCE9Kq0bhV5bD3zf4%3D) ### Changes to Closed Business Days If a location’s closed business days change after the forecast is generated, a message appears on the Forecasting page indicating that location closures have been updated for the forecasting period. Select **Recalculate** to regenerate the forecast with the updated closure information. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-KG60L3WY.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A33%3A20Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A33%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GCAVnCAHC01RbP2kyqfDzGqhumDCE9Kq0bhV5bD3zf4%3D) ### Closed Business Days and Imported Forecasts When a forecast is [manually imported](/doc/docs/import-sales-forecast), closed business days are **not** applied, and the values from the import template are used. ### Closed Business Days and Forecast Rules When a closed business day conflicts with a configured [forecast rule](/doc/docs/forecast-rules), the rule is ignored and the location is considered closed. --- ## Closed Business Day Setup ### Events [One-off and partial closed business days](/doc/docs/create-a-full-or-partial-closed-business-day-event) are created as [events](/doc/docs/manager-tools-events). Locations are only considered closed for the event’s duration; either as full days or as a set range of hours. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-YYT1Y2SU.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A33%3A20Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A33%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GCAVnCAHC01RbP2kyqfDzGqhumDCE9Kq0bhV5bD3zf4%3D) ### Location Hours Recurring weekly closed days are configured in the [operating hours settings](/doc/docs/manage-location-hours#set-closed-days-for-a-location) within [labor hours settings](/doc/docs/location-hours-settings-group). When configured in labor hours, the location is considered closed on the same day each week. > **Phased Feature Availability** > > The Location Hours page functionality is being released in phases during 2026.
