Revision as of 13:36, 24 March 2009

The JavaScript "busdateadd" function adds a specific number of business days to a given date.

datefield could be a Standard field or a Custom field

It skips Saturday and Sunday and Canadian public holidays (not banking holidays).

This is not related to any SmartSimple calendar.

Impact: This allows a calculation in a custom field based on business days instead of real days.

Example, Lets say field frm.startdate.value = 07/11/2008,Friday

busdateadd(frm.startdate.value,1) returns 10/11/2008, Monday

startdate is a standard field. To calculate using custom field use frm.cf_fieldid.value.
