The base calendar specifies the working hours per day.
You create base calendars according to the needs of your organization.
For example, a project might require 8 hours of working hours per
day and another project might require 6 hours of working hours per
day. So, you can create two base calendars. The project and resource
calendars inherits the base calendars. During project execution, duration
and effort calculations take into account the hours per day that are
defined in the base calendar. When you create base calendars, make
sure that you enter valid information, because base calendars impact
other calendars.
