Calculation of Reaction Points

Formula: Creation Date + SL Reaction Time = Reaction Point

  • Incidents 1-4: Thursday, 4/30/2009, 3:00 PM + 1 hour = Thursday, /30/2009, 4:00 PM

Calculation of Solution Points

Formula: Creation Date + SL Solution Time = Solution Point

  • Incident 1: Thursday, /30/2009, 3:00 PM + 1 working day = Monday, 5/4/2009, 3:00 PM
    Friday, 5/1, Saturday and Sunday are not working days. Because only working days can be considered for the calculation, the next working day is a Monday.
  • Incident 2: Thursday, 4/30/2009, 3 PM + 3 working days = Wednesday, 5/6/2009, 3 PM
    Friday, 5/1, Saturday and Sunday are not working days. Because only working days can be considered for the calculation, the next working day is a Monday.
  • Incident 3: Thursday, 4/30/2009, 3:00 PM + 5 days = Friday, 5/8/2009, 3:00 PM 
    Friday at 3:00 PM is outside working time. The system calculates the last possible time before the calculated solution point: Friday, 5/8/2009, 2:00 PM
    Friday, 5/1, Saturday and Sunday are not working days. Because only working days can be considered for the calculation, the next working day is Monday.
  • Incident 4: Thursday, 4/30/2009, 3:00 PM + 10 days = Friday, 5/15/2009, 3:00 PM
    Friday at 3:00 is outside working time. The system calculates the last possible time before the calculated solution point: Friday, 5/15/2009, 2:00 PM.

If the unit for the reaction and solution time is specified in days, the solution points are postponed by the system in full days only. If the solution point is outside working time, the system uses the last possible time before the calculated solution point.
