Business Hours in Period

This field is used in the dilution factor calculations, it represents the number of actual hours in the dilution period.  

An example case where this may be applied is a semi-monthly time period in the last half of February (when defaulting Dilution Hours from the Time Period Setup values).   

• The Work Hours for a standard semi-monthly time period is 86.67 hours (for every semi-monthly period), however, each specific semi-monthly time period will have a varying number of hours (ie last semi-monthly time period in Feb 2017 has 72 business hours).

By default, this value is populated from the Work Hours (defined on the Time Period screen).  This default behavior may be overridden if the property Set Dilution Business Hours in Period from Dilution Hours (unatime.cost.dilution.business_hours_from_dilution_hours) is set to true.  If true, the value for Business Hours will be set from the value of Dilution Hours.

On this screen, the value can be further customized for a specific user and specific period by manually editing the entry.
