Book Time Command

 

The Book Time command books the given resource for the duration of the given operation range.  If the operation range is “Job”, then the resource is booked for the duration of the job.  Book Time requires that either a resource or resource pool be given for the command.  The Book Time command can also include a percent factor for how much the entire resource should be loaded.  The percentage used for Book Time is different than that of the And% because a Book Time command does not have a prime operation as in a And block. 

 

The format for the Book Time command is as follows:

Book Time        Job                       

Book the resource for the entire job.

Book Time         Job 25%

Book the given resource 25% for the entire job.

 

Book Time         10

Book the given resource for the entire length of operation 10. 

 

Book Time         10 to 30

Book the given resource from the start of operation 10 through to the end of 30. 

 

Book Time         10 50%

Book the given resource 50% for the entire length of operation 10. 

 

Book Time         10 to 20 25%

Book the given resource 25% from the start of operation 10 through to the end of 20. 

 

The example below books operation 20 for the entire time it takes to do operation 30 and 40:
