Resource Utility Conflicts Tool

Resource conflicts can occur if bookings for the same date and time require the same resource, and there are insufficient quantities of the resource to accommodate all the bookings. When you reserve any resource for which the inventory is maintained (for example, equipment and personnel), Desktop Client Web checks the available quantity and notifies you in an Inventory Conflict message if there's an insufficient quantity of the selected resource to accommodate your event.

If required, dismiss this message and over-commit the resource. Although you're aware that the resource has been over-committed, other users won't be aware of this. To confirm that an over-commitment of resources doesn't exist for a single reservation, manually run the Resource Inventory Conflicts tool from the Navigator to generate an onscreen report that lists the resources that are in conflict by booking for the reservation.

To check if resources are over-committed across multiple reservations, generate EMS reports and statistics reports.

Run the Resource Inventory Conflicts tool

1. Open the Navigator and select the reservation.
2. Select Tools, and then select Resource Inventory Conflicts.

   The Resource Inventory Conflicts report lists the resources that are in conflict by booking. The report provides options for printing and emailing.

   Use this report to edit the booking details to resolve the conflict.
