  Key Concepts: 
  Availability is a term used in SAP's Resource Management component of the Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) suite. It is a measure of the amount of time a resource is available to work on tasks or projects. Availability is typically expressed as a percentage, with 100% meaning that the resource is available to work full-time on tasks or projects. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP's Resource Management component, availability can be used to determine how much time a resource has available to work on tasks or projects. This information can be used to plan and allocate resources more effectively. Availability can also be used to track the utilization of resources over time, allowing managers to identify areas where resources are being underutilized or overutilized. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting availability for a resource, it is important to consider the resource's other commitments such as vacation time, sick leave, and other activities that may affect their availability. It is also important to consider the resource's skills and experience when setting availability, as this will affect how much time they can realistically dedicate to tasks or projects.
