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.

Procedure

Navigate to All > Business Calendar > Calendars for Package.
Select New.

On the form, fill in the fields.

Field	Description
Calendar	Name of the business calendar that you want to associate with a ServiceNow AI Platform package. Select [Omitted image "SearchIcon.png"] Alt text: Search button to access Business Calendars where you can search for an existing business calendar.
