TIMSS 6: Facility Products

TIMSS 6 allows you to sell meeting rooms in Facilities. We do this for our conference rooms that are available for members & non-members to rent, at different pricing of course.

You could just set these up as miscellaneous products, but using the Facilities Product, you get a couple extra attributes.

First, you can check the Internal Scheduling box and TIMSS will keep track of events in the room (facility products sold) in TIMSS, and you can view this similarly to an Outlook calendar.

Second, when you setup the Facility, you can set the configuration and corresponding capacity for each room. When placing the order, you can select the date and configuration of the room.


Third, when you create the Facility Product, you can choose from 3 types:

1. Room Reservation- this is the product for the actual room and allows you to associate it with a particular room from the facility
2. Fees- for general fees not associated with a room
3. Food Services- for food services (similar to Fees)

I only setup one extra Fee facility product since we have many things that we sell (food service, projectors, etc.), but we rarely sell them. I've allowed the person entering the order to set the price on the order and told them to put in the "Product Name" on the ORD001 screen what extra was purchased.

You can also do requirements (i.e. Projectors, Microphones, Food). On Options tab of ORD001, you can pick from requirements you've setup for the product on the product's requirements tab. The requirements need to be associated with a room to show up on the Requirements tab of the Schedule.
