Function Space Reservation

The function space reservation process uses a combination of attributes to select and reserve a function space. During the sales and event execution processes, users invoke methods to check for function space availability. During the availability checks, the system determines if the function space can be reserved by examining the existing reservations, effectivity dates, predefined authorization levels, and function space configurations for the time and space requested.

When the user changes certain attributes (for example the start time) that can affect the inventory, the system automatically prompts the user to verify that the function space is available with the changed attributes. For more information, see Inventory Critical Fields at the Function Level.
