Booking request to confirmation

Prepare the appointment and resource plan, then confirm an eligible hold against consent and deposit evidence.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the booking Front Desk

    Front Desk records the customer name, subject, quoted amount and intended start and end. Confirm the booking owner and resource counterparty so the next person can identify the appointment and its operating context.

    • Record the customer and appointment context
    • Updates Bookings, Organizations, Team members
  2. Plan the resources Front Desk

    Front Desk attaches resource lines with the reserved units and agreed setup and cleanup allowances. Salon Manager reviews resource eligibility and the interval treatment used for the selected service during configuration.

    • Prepare resource units and buffer allowances
    • Updates Booking resources, Resources, Bookings
  3. Hold the current interval Front Desk

    Front Desk runs the hold action against the current booking revision. An eligible Requested booking becomes Held and receives an operation receipt. Inspect the outcome before proceeding to confirmation.

    • Move an eligible Requested booking to Held
    • Updates Bookings, Operation receipts
  4. Review the supporting evidence Front Desk

    Front Desk locates the consent file under the agreed evidence convention. Payment Reviewer checks the linked provider events and the verified evidence required by the deposit policy, retaining the difference between authorization and capture.

    • Check the consent and deposit basis
    • Updates Record attachments, Payment evidence, Bookings
  5. Confirm the appointment Front Desk

    Front Desk runs the confirmation action for the eligible Held booking after the required evidence is present. The booking becomes Confirmed and the operation records its outcome. Follow any failed or review-needed result through the responsible person's correction process.

    • Move an eligible Held booking to Confirmed
    • Updates Bookings, Operation receipts

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • An appointment changes while another person is preparing its hold. Refresh the source revision before attempting the next action.
  • A provider authorization is treated as captured payment without checking the deposit policy. Retain the event type during review.
  • The team cannot locate the consent document for the intended booking. Use a clear title and evidence convention with the correct parent link.
