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 (applicable only to attendance/absence-based reservations).   HR infotypes used as source for person reservations (S4)PACG 200 SP06 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.

Fixed properties

If a field is set, the value of a corresponding property in SAP FSM will be set to true (otherwise to false).

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). 

Reservation type color

(S4)PACG 200 SP05

In transaction /PACG/ECM_T554S - FSM Absence and Attendance Types Definition, enter a color for a given person reservation type.

Send the reservation type to FSM with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_PRERT - Person reservation type.

Notice that the color property can be found in the outbound idoc.

Navigate to FSM Settings and Configuration, tab ‘Planning and Dispatching’ -> ‘Time slot types’. Notice that the reservation type’s color reflects the customizing in SAP ECC/S4.

Create a reservation on the Planning and Dispatching Board. The reservation is of the selected color.

Absence

Absence is one of the time reservation type. In dispatching board choose Your technician and time slot which will be reserved.

All of the Absence type can be found in FSM Settings tab “Time slot types”. Absences are Work Time Task, to define new records go to transaction /PACG/ECM_VWRKTC and maintain new time task.
