# Configuring Operating Hours

> Define the TED operating window in Lerian Console — open and close times, IANA timezone, and how the plugin handles transfers submitted outside the window.

The **Operating Hours** section sets the window when the plugin accepts TED transfers. The plugin rejects a TED transfer that you submit outside this window. The rejection reports the next available time. 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. The badge reads **Configured** when both Open Time and Close Time have a value.

## 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 when the TED window opens, in `HH:MM` 24-hour format.

### Close Time

The time of day when the TED window closes, in `HH:MM` 24-hour format. If you leave this blank, the plugin applies the default value.

### Timezone

The IANA timezone that the plugin uses to read Open Time and Close Time (for example `America/Sao_Paulo`). The plugin makes all time comparisons in this timezone, not in the user or server timezone.

## Default behavior

***

If you do not configure Operating Hours, the plugin applies these defaults for the banner and validation:

* **Open Time:** `06:30`
* **Close Time:** `17:00`
* **Timezone:** `America/Sao_Paulo`
* **Days:** Monday through Friday, and never on a BACEN holiday (fixed — you cannot change the processing days in the Console)

## How the window is used

***

The Console uses the configured window to:

* Show an **Outside TED Operating Hours** banner on the Initiate page when the current time is outside the window.
* Warn you that the plugin rejects a TED transfer submitted outside the window.

<Note>
  The banner only informs you. The Console does not block submission. If you submit a TED transfer outside the window, the plugin rejects it and reports the next available time. The plugin does not queue the transfer for later. The default window is Monday through Friday, 06:30–17:00 (`America/Sao_Paulo`, UTC−3), and it excludes BACEN holidays.
</Note>

## Saving changes

***

Click **Save** in the toolbar at the top of the page. The Console records every change in the [Settings History](/en/rails/ted/console/bt-viewing-settings-history) tab.
