    • Pair a business calendar that you created with a package, or functional area, in the ServiceNow AI Platform. When you associate a business calendar with a package, it enables the use of the calendar in that specific functional area. Until you pair a business calendar definition with at least one package, it remains a definition record only.

    About this task

    A package is an application, or generic set of functions, such as HR Service Delivery or Finance Close Automation, in the ServiceNow AI Platform. For example, if you created a fiscal calendar, you can associate it with the Finance Close Automation package.
    Note:
    Within a single calendar package record, you can only associate a business calendar with a single package. To associate business calendars with multiple packages, you have to create multiple calendar package records. For example, if you created a fiscal calendar and want to associate it with the HR and Fixed Assets packages:
    • In the first record you create, in the Calendar field, select the fiscal year, and in the Package field, select HR.
    • In the second record you create, you again select the same fiscal calendar, and then select Fixed Asset in the Package field.
