ERPAL Core - Flexible resource planning

This module provides entities to plan and meassure business results and business resources. You can build for example event registration features, project planning tools, car renting platforms and lots of other apps to manage resources. Therefore it contains the following modules:

• erpal_resource - to build resource entities such as team members in a project, events, cars.
• erpal_budget - to build entities to plan the availability of resources such as planned working times, capacity or availability.
• erpal_output - to book resources and measure business output against the planned values (using the budget entity) such as revenue and expenses or real working time, booking times and resource usage.

Use cases

The general use case is to provide resources using the resource entity, plan these resources (regarding their availability in this example use case) using the budget entity and use these planned resources (real working time e.g.) with the output entity. All planning and output meassuring functions in ERPAL platform are build on top of this module collection.
There is a functionality that allows you to book an output entity to a budget to keep track of the total budget (planned) and the available budget (still available). All the logic can be used with the provided Rules integration.
