Use

The academic offerings of a university consist of business events and academic units w/o dates .

You can book persons for a business event 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 a business event (object type E), the system offers only those business event types that have the appropriate delivery modes. Apart from the business event type data the system uses when you create an event, you must enter additional data such as location, schedule, required resources, etc.
