  Explicit reservation is a feature in SAP Facilities Management (FS-MCM-FAC) that allows users to reserve a specific resource for a specific time period. This feature is useful for ensuring that resources are available when needed and that they are not overbooked. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use explicit reservation, users must first create a reservation request in the system. This request will include the resource to be reserved, the time period for which it is to be reserved, and any other relevant information. Once the request is submitted, the system will check to see if the resource is available during the requested time period. If it is, the reservation will be approved and the resource will be marked as reserved for that time period.

  When creating a reservation request, it is important to provide as much detail as possible. This will help ensure that the system can accurately determine if the requested resource is available during the requested time period.
