In relation to the planning object care unit, the admission capacity stipulates for which scheduling types the care unit offers possible admission appointments.

To be able to book inpatient admission appointments, you also need to have maintained inpatient scheduling types in Customizing for IS-H. For more information about this, refer to the section entitled Patient Management ® Scheduling ® Preregistration List and Waiting List Management ® Set Up Inpatient Scheduling Types in the IS-H Implementation Guide. On the basis of scheduling types and day programs, you define admission quotas that a care unit makes available to the departmental organizational units authorized to assign patients to its beds for preregistering patients.
