Next Fit Button Functionality

When the Next Fit button is clicked, the best available function space is selected, and the inventory status is set to Reserved. The function space selection is based on the number of attendees, the setup style, any specified features, and the physical area specified in the function record.

For example, after an opportunity is created and a quote generated, the user reviews the function space availability in the Quote screen, Function view. At this point, the user clicks Next Fit to start the process of finding and reserving the best available function space.

Note: Users can only click the Next Fit button if a function space has not already been selected and reserved for the function.

In some circumstances, the Next Fit process might not locate any available spaces. In this case, Siebel Hospitality returns the best-fit function space with a status of Unreserved.

Note: The user cannot use the Next Fit option when managing NPPs.
