> Business Central includes built-in enums for month and day-of-week recurrence patterns. Developers can reuse these existing enums rather than creating custom ones, saving development time.

## Key points

- Enum 4691 Recurrence - Month already provides month values, so a custom enum is not needed
- Enum 4690 Recurrence - Day of Week covers weekdays
- The Day of Week enum also contains extra values such as Day and Weekday
- Use the ValuesAllowed property to hide values you do not want

## AL objects mentioned

- [enum 4690 "Recurrence - Day of Week"](../../objects/enum/4690.md)

## Context
