Events

Functionality has been added to support Events - ie. Items that are linked to a Calendar Group and Resource which have a start and end date/time that automatically updates the Transaction Quantity based on the Event Type and setting the Quantity will in turn set the End Date/Time.

Event Types include:

• Days - Cal - Qty is set according to Calendar days/part days - eg. Hotel Bookings, Excursions, etc.

• Days - 24 Hr/s - Qty is set for every 24 hr/s or part thereof - eg. Car Rental

• Hours - Qty is set by difference in hours from Start to End time. - eg. When Services are billed at an hourly rate.

Events functionality can be enabled in a Transaction Type checking the new Events setting - see Setups > Transaction Types > Options & Defaults > Use Events.

If the Transaction Types Calendar setting is checked, Events will be replicated to the Calendar and changes to the Calendar will be replicated back to the Transaction. See Setups > Transaction Types > Options & Defaults > Update Calendar. In the Calendar, the start and end Date/Times of Events can be changed. Events can also be moved to other Resources in the same group. See more on Calendar and Resources here.

Items

Event settings can be added or partially to Items in the new Events tab and these will be copied to the Transaction when the Item is added. eg. For a Hotel booking, you might only select the resource group (eg. Deluxe Rooms) and then select the Resource (eg. Room 10) after the item has been added to the Transaction. See image below. The Entity fields can also be updated in the Items Editing View > Detail.
