Ad Hoc Bookings
The Scheduler Ad-Hoc Bookings functionality gives you the ability to add bookings to the Scheduler that are not directly linked to a specific Works Order demand or MRP recommendation. These bookings will be considered by the scheduler and impact resource availability calculations.
Typical uses for ad-hoc bookings would be to schedule machine maintenance or downtime, or staff holiday.
The ad-hoc bookings list view is accessible via the Scheduler button on the left hand side of the main Cim50 program. This list view behaves the same as all the other module list views in Cim50.
Adding/Editing an Ad-Hoc Booking
Too add a new ad-hoc booking, press the New button above the ad-hoc bookings list. Should you wish to edit an existing ad-hoc booking, highlight the relevant booking from the list view and press the Amend button.
On the screen that opens, you have the following options:

Resource: Select the specific resource the ad-hoc booking impacts.
Booking Code: Select the booking code that should be used for the ad-hoc booking, select from

The booking code used impacts how the ad-hoc booking is displayed in the Cim50 Scheduler. Effecting both the icon displayed and colour code.
Start Date: The date the ad-hoc booking should start.
End Date: The date the ad-hoc booking should end.
Notes: Enter any relevant notes for the ad-hoc booking in this field.
Repeat: If the booking will repeat, for example if you want to schedule regular maintenance or an annual service, selecting this option will enable you to define a frequency and number of occurrences you would like to schedule.
Note: Once saved, the repeat bookings will be created as separate individual ad-hoc bookings, and display individually in the list view.
