Attendance Prebooking 

Use

If there is no business event scheduled in the required period, you can make prebookings for attendees. Prebookings are made for the event type and for a specific time period. As soon as business events of the event type are offered, prebookings can be converted into bookings.

The prebooking function constitutes an additional planning feature by providing important demand information that can be used for reporting purposes.

The information is also used in the planning function to determine what demand exists for a business event type on the basis of the prebookings received for it and then to plan a sufficient number of dates to meet the demand.

In the context of Career and Succession Planning, prebookings can be regarded as future qualifications to be attained.

Features

When you create prebookings, you can specify a prebooking priority that automatically becomes the booking priority when the prebooking is converted.

You can specify an event language and/or event location if required.

The Prebook List function lets you make multiple prebookings in one step. You can either prebook one attendee for multiple business event types at one go, or multiple attendees (and attendee types) for one business event type.

The system automatically proposes a default prebooking period dating from the current date to the latest system date (31.12.9999). As a rule, a prebooking is valid from the current date until it is converted to a booking.

The following situations can restrict the prebooking period:

In the case of no-name (N.N.) prebookings, you can change the number of prebookings at a later date.
