3110470 - Unable to overlap demands in Resource Scheduler while using the Auto-Dispatch feature

Symptom

  • Your business requires the use of the "Auto Dispatch" feature in the Resource Scheduler.
  • Your business also requires the ability to add multiple demands for the same SE for the same time slot.
  • The problem is that the UI prevents the data from saving when there are overlaps .

Environment

  • SAP Service Cloud 

Reproducing the Issue

Use the Auto Dispatch scheduling method to create automatic scheduling in the system.

Cause

System is working as designed.

Resolution

  • Auto dispatch feature looks for free slot of the employees of the service team.
    • If there is no free slot, appropriate message will be raised, for example,  "Auto Dispatch unsuccessful due to unavailable time slots".
    • The above is the expected behavior.
  • There are presently no Badi (User exits) to suppress the message, which prevents the demain from saving.
  • To assign demands to same slot, customer has to assign it manually.
  • If you feel this would be a good feature to have in furture releases, then please submit a request via the SAP Customer Influence Program per KBA 2531650.
