  Net availability is a term used in Service Resource Planning (SRP) within SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

It is calculated by subtracting the total amount of time spent on non-productive activities from the total amount of time available for work.

  When calculating net availability, it is important to consider all non-productive activities, such as travel time, breaks, and meetings. It is also important to consider any planned or unplanned absences, such as vacation or sick days.
