Use

You use the recurrence rule to define the times during which a reservation object is allowed to be reserved.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

You can create more than one row for each recurrence rule. The system then interprets the times in these rows additively.
If you set the Exceptions indicator for a row, then the times defined by these rows are excluded from the others.
Make the following entries:

  • Row
    Sequence number of the row You have to assign a unique number to each recurrence rule.
  • Start/Series End (Date)

Specifies the time period during which the reservation object can be reserved. If you do not want to place a limit on the time period, then you can leave both of these fields empty.

  • Start/End (Time) See the example below.

Specifies the time during which the reservation object can be reserved. This time period is also needed in order for the system to be able to convert prices to an hourly price if the prices were entered for a whole day or longer period.
For example: To convert a daily price to an hourly price, the system determines how many hours the reservation object can be reserved on that day, and divides by that number.

  • Frequency
    Here you can select the frequency with which the times should be valid.
  • Interval
  • Indicators: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Set these indicators if you want to limit the reservation of a reservation object to certain days of the week or if you want to exclude certain days from being reserved. For excluding days, you also have to set the Exceptions indicator.
In this way, you can specify, for example, that a reservation object can only be reserved from Monday through Friday, or only on Sundays.
The system ignores these indicators if you set the frequency to Daily.

  • Indicator: Public Holiday
    Set this indicator if you want it to be possible to reserve the reservation object on public holidays. If you do not want reservations on public holidays, set this indicator together with the Exceptions indicator.
    If no holiday calendar is entered for the row and no holiday calendar is entered for the reservation area of the room being reserved, then the system ignores the Public Holiday indicator .
  • Holiday Calendar
    If you want a specific holiday calendar to be used for the rule, enter it here.
  • Day of Month
  • Month
    When the frequency is Monthly , you can specify the month to which this row of the recurrence rule relates.
  • Occurrence/Number
    These fields are used for special recurrences.
    Normally there are no entries in these two fields.

Example

Your company has tennis courts. You want to allow internal reservations from Monday through Friday from 6 A.M. to 9 A.M. and from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, you want to allow external reservations from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M.

You define two recurrence rules in Customizing:

  • Rule 1: "Tennis, internal, workdays" has three rows:
    • Row 1
      Start: 6:00
      End: 9:00
      Indicator is set for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
      Frequency: Weekly
    • Row 2
      The same as row 1, but with Start: 18:00, End: 21:00
    • Row 3
      Indicator for exceptions is set.
      Indicator for Friday is set.
  • Rule 2: "Tennis, external, Saturday, Sunday, holidays" has 1 row:
    • Row 1
      Start: 8:00
      End: 20:00
      Indicators are set for Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays.
      Frequency: Weekly

You then assign these rules as follows in the next IMG activity, Define Reservation Periods:

  • You assign rule 1 to the reservation object type "Tennis Court" and to the appropriate reservation areas with reservation type "internal."
  • You assign rule 2 to the reservation type "external."
