# Configuring Operating Hours

> Define the window during which TED transfers are processed.

The **Operating Hours** section defines the business window during which TED transfers are processed. Transfers submitted outside this window are **queued and processed on the next business day** — they are not rejected. The [Initiate](/en/rails/ted/console/bt-initiating-a-transfer) page shows a banner when the current time is outside the window.

The section header shows a **Configured** or **Not Configured** badge based on whether both Open Time and Close Time are filled in.

## Accessing the section

***

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    In the Bank Transfer sidebar, click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expand Operating Hours">
    Click the section header to expand it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Fields

***

### Open Time

The time of day, in `HH:MM` 24-hour format, when the TED window opens.

### Close Time

The time of day, in `HH:MM` 24-hour format, when the TED window closes. If left blank, the system applies a default value.

### Timezone

The IANA timezone string used to interpret Open Time and Close Time (for example `America/Sao_Paulo`). All comparisons are done in this timezone, regardless of where the user or the server is located.

## Default behavior

***

If Operating Hours are not configured, the plugin falls back to the following defaults for banner and validation purposes:

* **Open Time:** `06:30`
* **Close Time:** `20:00`
* **Timezone:** `America/Sao_Paulo`
* **Days:** Monday through Friday (fixed — the processing days are not configurable in the Console)

## How the window is used

***

The configured window is used by the Console to:

* Show an **Outside TED Operating Hours** banner on the Initiate page when the current time falls outside the window.
* Signal that a transfer submitted outside hours will be queued and processed on the next business day.

<Note>
  The banner is informational and the Console does not block submission. A TED transfer submitted outside the window is **queued and processed on the next business day** — it is not rejected. By default the operating window is Monday through Friday, 06:30–20:00 (`America/Sao_Paulo`, UTC−3).
</Note>
