Business Explanation

Plain-language context for planners and operations leaders.

What is this?

Capacity Availability records date-specific changes to the normal Resource Pool capacity for a department and skill level.

Why is it needed?

It lets planners maintain the normal Resource Pool baseline and capture leave, overtime, temporary staffing, or reduced availability for specific dates.

How is it used later?

Planning uses Resource Pool values by default and switches to date overrides only for matching dates, departments, and skills.
