Features

Entering individual move dates in move planning

For moves, you can specify individual move dates for each person moving. This means that you no longer have to create a move plan for each move-in date or move-out date.

For more information, see the SAP Library under Planning and Activating Moves.

Entering a degree of occupancy for continuous occupancy

For persons (such as part-time employees), who occupy more or less than one desk assignment, you can enter a degree of occupancy. The degree of occupancy has a direct effect on the values reflecting the utilization of the reservation objects. It is also considered during the calculation of prices.

For more information, see the SAP Library under Long-Term Seating Arrangements.

Reporting for continuous occupancy

Using the report Information System: Continuous Occupancy - Utilization, you can run detailed reports on continuous occupancy. You can obtain overviews of the current and historical occupancy, the utilization of room capacities, and the existing vacancies.

For more information, see the SAP Library under Information System (RE-FX).

New transactions for posting and reversing continuous occupancy and reservations

There are two new transactions for posting reservations and continuous occupancy: Posting of Continuous Occupancy and Posting of Reservations. You can reverse postings made with these transactions using the new transactions: Reverse Costs of Continuous Occupancy and Reverse Costs of Reservations. You can call these new transactions for more than one reservation object type at a time.

For more information, see the SAP Library under Long-Term Seating Arrangements and under Room Reservations.
