		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>SSA ERP uses availability types to support mutltiple activities per resource. Examples of resources are employees, work centers, service centers, or a warehouses.</Paragraph>
			<ExampleSection><SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>If an employee is planned for manufacturing activities, as well as for servicing activities, both manufacturing and service must know when the employee is available for their activities. It is impractical to connect multiple <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Calendar.tc" role="glossary">calendars</Link> to one employee.</Paragraph>
			</ExampleSection>
			<Paragraph>If you define one calendar for the employee, and link the availability types for manufacturing and service to this calendar, the employee calendar contains all the activities for which the employee is available.</Paragraph>

			<FuncDesc>If this check box is selected, the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#ResoActiType.tc" role="glossary">availability type</Link> is available during the related time intervals in the calendar, that is, the activity associated with the availability type is available.</FuncDesc>
			<SimpleSection><Paragraph>The setting of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0101m000#tcccp001.avlb" role="formfield">Default Available</GUIRef> field is just a default for the lines that SSA ERP records in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0120m000" role="session">Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000)</GUIRef> session, and to which a certain availability type is linked. In each of these lines you can still determine whether the availability type is available or not by clicking the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0120m000#tcccp020.avlb" role="formfield">Available</GUIRef> check box.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>The availability types are by default available, which is why SSA ERP selects the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0101m000#tcccp001.avlb" role="formfield">Default Available</GUIRef> check box by default.</Paragraph>
				<List><ListIntro>To define non-availability of a certain resource, you must clear the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0101m000#tcccp001.avlb" role="formfield">Default Available</GUIRef> check box for the corresponding availability type, or the Available check box in one of the following sessions:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0120m000" role="session">Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0140m000" role="session">Standard Calendar (tcccp0140m000)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0142m000" role="session">Calendar Recurrence Working Hours (tcccp0142m000)</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
				</List>
				<Paragraph>It is not useful to define a special availability type for non-availability of a certain resource, because SSA ERP does not generate calendars based on non-available availability types. The only effect of defining a special non-availability type is that SSA ERP displays non-available time in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0120m000" role="session">Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
