Non exclusive | The exclusive field in the FSM object PersonReservation defines whether the a person is reserved exclusively for the business partner. Users are able to set an attendance/absence type for a given company and personnel subarea grouping as non FSM and cannot have overlapping reservations.  Use the ‘Non exclusive’ flag to send person reservations of a given attendance/absence type from SAP ECC/S4 to FSM as not exclusive. | ||||||||
Start Fixed | Indicates if the start date time of a person reservation is fixed or can be changed. If set, the value of a corresponding property in SAP FSM (startDateTimeFixed) will be set to true (otherwise to false).
| ||||||||
End Fixed | Indicates if the end date time a person reservation is fixed or can be changed. If set, the value of a corresponding property in SAP FSM (endDateTimeFixed) will be set to true (otherwise to false). | ||||||||
Technician Fixed | Indicates if the assigned technician in a person reservation is fixed or can be changed. If set, the value of a corresponding property in SAP FSM (technicianFixed) will be set to true (otherwise to false). | ||||||||
Color
| Reservation types can be sent to FSM with the color parameter, specified in SAP ECC/S4. Please note that FSM allows usage of colors in the HEX format, e.g. #6e6858 or #17bd8b. To ensure that only the relevant colors are sent, users must select one of the 20 predefined colors. Use the ‘Color’ field’s search help to quickly select a color code.

Start time/end time | Fixed time to be used in person reservations sent to FSM when no start/end time was found in the source objects (CATS/infotypes). HR infotypes used as source for person reservations
If no start/end time was filled in absence/attendance infotypes:  the fixed hours from this customizing are used for the resulting person reservation.
If no start/end time was filled in the source infotype and no fixed dates were maintained in the customizing, relevant personal work schedules are used to determine the start time of person reservation and daily working hours from infotype 0007 to calculate the end time (by adding these hours to the start time). |

Definitions
Definition of attendance / absence types which are mapped to object "Reservation" can be seen in the resource planner.
Please note that the reservation types here in FSM sent from SAP backend can be edited in FSM (at current press time), hence, it is advisable not to maintain it in FSM but use do it from SAP with the exception of the colour bar which can only be maintained in FSM. The reservation type is sent using "/PACG/ECM_TRIG_PRERT - Person reservation type".
Exclusive reservations
If an Attendance/Absence Type for a given personnel group and company is set as non exclusive, reservations of this type should have the Exclusive reservation setting in FSM unchecked by default. Non exclusive reservations have plain background and can overlap on the Planning and Dispatching Board.
If a reservation is set as exclusive, its background is striped and it's not possible to assign two overlapping reservations to one technician.
The exclusive reservation status can also be seen in the reservation's properties.

Example scenario
Check at least one new field for a given attendance/absence type in transaction /PACG/ECM_T554S.
Send a person reservation of the relevant type using transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_PRERV - Person reservation.
Notice that the idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_PERSRESERV contains the new property fields (with value ‘X’).
Find the transferred person reservation object in Query API and notice that the properties which were set in the customizing transaction now have value equal to ‘true’.
Find the reservation on the Planning and Dispatching Board, select three dots and notice that the reservation is locked (or partially locked, depending on the properties’ values).
