Create a New booking
A new service booking is created from the home page: My bookings.
To book a service product, the following must be performed:
Click on + (plus icon)
Select Customer
If the customer is not registered, it can be registered via a form.Choose a product
Only service products on which the staff member can be booked, are shown among the products that can be booked.Choose time
Only times when the staff member is free for bookings are displayed.Choose resources
The staff will be booked in the priority resource requirement of the type staff. If there are more resources for the product, they will be made selectable.Book more products/times or complete the order
Complete a Booking
A service booking has a status called performed. It indicates that, for example, a treatment or a personal training session has been completed by the resource/resources. The functionality for the performed status can be disabled through configuration, which means that all service bookings are set to completed immediately when they are booked.
In the BRP client, you can filter for uncompleted bookings through the menu Booking > Bookings, and then select multiple bookings and mark them as completed via the right-click menu.
When the start time for a service booking has passed, it can be completed. Completion of booking occurs when any the following happens:
The service booking is set to completed, by marking it as performed, shown in the left screenshot below
The service booking is debited as seen in the right screenshot below
ORThe service booking is cancelled (This can happen after it has been debited. In which case the customer is reimbursed)
Debit a Booking
Select the menu option debit to charge for the service booking. Seen in the right screenshot above.
Note that the setting Register unit for mass debit (registerUnitForMassDebit) must have a register configured for debiting value cards to work.
Currently, the customer can only pay with a value card through Staff Center. Use the BRP cash register if the booking needs to be paid for in any other way.
Change time of a booking
A service booking which is not marked as performed can be moved to a later time or date. When changing time, it is also possible to change the other resources (change the filter when listing vacant times). However, the staff cannot exchange themselves with any other staff in Staff Center (If this needs to be done, it must be changed through BRP Cloud).
When using a product with both a location and staff as resource requirements, both resource requirements need to have the property Searchable on customer web configured.
Note that a booking may also be moved if the start time has been passed. However, if the booking has already been charged the staff must have the right Cancel debited bookings to be able to do so.
Cancel a Booking
A service booking where the start time has not been passed and which has not been marked as performed can be cancelled.
A servie booking where the start time has been passed can be completed and thus also cancelled.
Depending on how the cancellation rules are set, the customer might have to pay a cancellation fee. When a cancellation is performed, the following must be stated:
Reason
Select reason for the cancellation from the optionsIf the chosen reason has a cancellation fee, options for the fee will be displayed. The alternatives ask how many days before the booked start time that the customer announced that they wanted to cancel. For example, happen that the customer calls in and wants to cancel but that the staff makes the cancellation a day later.
If the booking was charged with a punch clip card before it was cancelled, a punch clip will be put back on the customer's punch clip card (the one with the longest validity period). Cancellation of a charged booking paid with other payment method other than a punch clip card cannot be cancelled in Staff Center. It must be cancelled in BRP Cloud instead.
If the cancellation entails a cancellation fee, the customer will be invoiced that fee. In some cases, invoicing is not allowed (eg if the customer lacks a valid address) and will then not be allowed cancellation.
