Welke berekeningsmethode is juist voor mijn object?
When you have linked the resource to the object, there are a few Method of calculation to consider.
The Method of calculation indicates to what extent the resource is used when a new order for the object is created.
Below is a brief overview of the different Method of calculation.
| Method of calculation | Function | Use Case |
| Resource per booking | When a reservation is made, a fixed amount of the resource is reserved. In most cases, this will be 1 | A venue rental has 8 different meeting rooms. This is the resource. When a group reserves a room for a meeting, one resource is used and can no longer be booked again |
| Booking per resource | This is the same as resource per booking, but with the ratios reversed. See the use case for more details. |
In the example above, two meeting rooms can be combined into one larger room. When this is booked, two resources must be used. In the previous method, a value of 0.5 would have been entered. When using resource per quantity, 0.5 would need to be entered as the amount per method. To avoid working with unclear decimal numbers, the ratios have been reversed, allowing a simple entry of 2 instead. |
| Resource per number | When a reservation is made, a number of resources are reserved based on the number of people in the reservation. |
A museum offers guided tours for groups of up to 30 people. They have 5 guides, which serve as the resources in this example. When a group of 10 people books a tour, 1 guide is used. If another group books at the same time and has fewer than 20 people, they are added to the same tour, fully utilizing 1 resource. However, if the second booking exceeds the remaining spots in the tour, a second guide is assigned. |
| Number per resource | This is the same as resource per number, but with the roles reversed. See the use case for more details. |
Let’s take the above example again. In addition to guides, they also have assistants for people in wheelchairs. In this case, the assistants are the resource. For each person in a wheelchair, 2 assistants are required. If you were to use resource per quantity, 0.5 would need to be entered for the number per method. To avoid working with unclear decimal numbers, the ratios have been reversed, and you can simply enter 2 instead. |
| Resource just block: booking | When making a reservation, you link these resources to the reservation, but the product to which they are linked does not require them. |
n this example, there is one room that can be used for 3 different games: Laser Tag, Gellyball, and Among Us. Laser Tag can accommodate up to 20 people in groups of at least 5, while Gellyball and Among Us can only be played with groups of 20 to 30 people. When a game of Laser Tag is in progress, the room cannot be used for Gellyball and/or Among Us. However, groups of at least 5 people can join the Laser Tag game until the total reaches 20. In this case, Gellyball is the object to which this calculation method is applied. Example:
In this scenario, the resources and availability are carefully calculated based on group sizes and timings, with some flexibility for group extensions while ensuring the room isn’t double-booked. |
