Shift Scheduling
Shift scheduling assigns people or other resources to time slots required to cover work.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Shift scheduling assigns people or other resources to time slots required to cover work. A planned shift is an intended assignment, rather than proof of actual attendance.
In Odoo
Odoo Planning creates shifts for resources and roles and can link them to projects or sold services. Its Auto Plan feature uses configured roles and availability; compare planned assignments with attendance or timesheets when evaluating actual work.
