While creating a booking, it goes through several stages. These stages are colour-coded to easily identify the progress the booking has made before it reaches its final stage of being finalised.
Unconfirmed
Unconfirmed in the first stage and the draft version of the booking. At this stage, you can delete or add things without any notifications being sent out to people. This stage is designed to plan bookings before they're confirmed to go ahead and sent out to your suppliers to fulfil.
Confirmed
The confirmed status is used to identify that the booking is confirmed and will go ahead and is ready to be sent to the suppliers. The booking can still be altered and changed, but if the booking has already been sent to the supplier, all the suggested changes will be sent to the supplier to accept. Only Suppliers are able to move bookings past this status to locked.
Cancelled
A cancelled booking is one that has been cancelled outside of the late cancellation window. No charges will be incurred. Both Procurement customers and Suppliers are able to cancel a booking.
Late Cancellation
A Late Cancelled booking is a booking that has been cancelled within the cancellation window that had been agreed upon. This cancellation can incur a cost from the supplier due to the lack of notice and the cost associated with mobilising the crews to complete the booking to then cancel them.
