Definition

The academic unit w/o dates and business event can both be created from a business event type . Unlike business events, academic units w/o dates do not require a schedule or resources such as rooms and instructors.

Use

The system creates an academic unit w/o dates when you create an event without a schedule and resources.

It also creates an academic unit w/o dates when you create an unscheduled business event , that is, a business event without a set schedule. If you subsequently enter a schedule, the system changes the academic unit w/o dates to a business event.

The academic offerings of a university consist of business events and academic units w/o dates. You create and schedule business events, and create academic units w/o dates when you maintain a business event offering . You can book persons for an academic unit w/o dates as soon as it exists in the system.

The delivery mode of the business event type (object type D) determines whether the offering is a business event or an academic unit w/o dates. When you create an academic unit w/o dates (object type EL), the system offers only those business event types that have the appropriate delivery modes. When you create an academic unit w/o dates, you can add data to the business event type default values.

You can build your own academic offerings in Student Lifecycle Management by combining business events and academic units w/o dates to a business event package (object type SE). This has the advantage that students can simultaneously book all academic offerings within a package instead booking events and academic units w/o dates separately.
