# Trading Days

Set the days and hours you trade, your financial year, public holidays, and closures, so project ageing counts working days only.

A quote sent on Thursday afternoon shouldn't look overdue after a weekend nobody worked. In OrderEazi's **Trading Days** you set the days and hours you're open, the public holidays you trade on, and the times you're closed, so a project's age counts trading time only. You also set the first month of your financial year here.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Trading Days** permission, in the **Settings** permission group. If you don't have it, ask your OrderEazi administrator to add it to your role.

OrderEazi works out your country, and so its public holidays, from your organisation's **Trading Currency** on [Company Info](/central/order-management/settings/organization-setup/company-info.md). Set that first.

> **Warning:** Changing the **Trading Currency** clears your public holiday choices. The new country's holidays are added again, all unticked, so tick the ones you trade on again.

### How to set your trading days

1. In the main menu, go to **Settings** > **Trading Days**.
2. Under **Weekdays**, tick each day you're open.
3. Set the times you're open on each day, under **Between**.

Each change saves straight away, and you see "Updated". If a day starts after it ends, you see "Start of day needs to be before the End of the day."

### How to set your financial year

Under "What is the first month of your financial year?", choose the month. Your year ends 11 months later. The months on **Targets** follow this order.

### How to set public holidays

Under "On which holidays do you trade?", each public holiday for your country is listed with its date. Tick the holidays you're open on. Unticked holidays count as closed days.

### How to add a closure

For days you're closed that aren't public holidays, such as a year-end shutdown:

1. Under **New Vacation**, type a **Description**, such as "Year-end shutdown".
2. Choose the **Start** and **End** dates.
3. Choose the **Type**: **Yearly** to close on the same dates every year, or **Once Off** to close only on the dates you choose.
4. Select **Create**.

You see "A new vacation has been created". To remove one, open the menu on its row, select **Delete**, and confirm.

### What trading days change

* **Project ageing:** The **Ageing** column and filter in My Workspace count trading time only. Projects up to 3 days old are teal, 4 to 5 days are orange, and older ones are red.
* **Warehouse dashboard:** The weekly statistics on the warehouse dashboard count trading days.
* **Targets:** The months on **Targets** start at your financial year's first month.

Due dates, and the "created" and "contacted" labels on projects, still count every calendar day.

**Example:** You trade Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. A quote is created on Thursday at 16:00. By Tuesday at 10:00 it's nearly 5 calendar days old, which would show orange. Counted in trading time it's about 2 days old (Thursday's last hour, all of Friday and Monday, and two hours on Tuesday), so it's still teal.
