2+
3+ This JavaScript function calculates a future date by adding a specified number of ** business days** (excluding weekends) to a given date.
4+
5+
6+ ## Features
7+ - Skips weekends (Saturday and Sunday)
8+ - Works with any number of business days
9+ - Uses ServiceNow's ` GlideDateTime ` API
10+
11+ ## Usage
12+ 1 . Copy the function into a ** Script Include** , ** Business Rule** , or ** Scheduled Job** in ServiceNow.
13+ 2 . Call the function with:
14+ - A valid date string (e.g., ` '2025-10-24 12:00:00' ` )
15+ - The number of business days to add (e.g., ` 5 ` )
16+
17+ ## Example
18+ ``` javascript
19+ gs .print (add_business_days (' 2025-10-24 12:00:00' , 5 ));
20+ // Output: 2025-10-31 (skips weekend)
Original file line number Diff line number Diff line change 1+ // Function to add any number of business days to a given date
2+ function add_business_days ( date , num_days ) {
3+ var result_date = new GlideDateTime ( date ) ;
4+ var added_days = 0 ;
5+
6+ while ( added_days < num_days ) {
7+ result_date . addDaysUTC ( 1 ) ;
8+ var day_of_week = result_date . getDayOfWeekUTC ( ) ;
9+ if ( day_of_week != 6 && day_of_week != 7 ) { // Skip Saturday (6) and Sunday (7)
10+ added_days ++ ;
11+ }
12+ }
13+
14+ return result_date . getDate ( ) ;
15+ }
16+
17+ // Example usage:
18+ gs . print ( add_business_days ( '2025-10-24 12:00:00' , 5 ) ) ; // Adds 5 business days
