# Basic Details

## What does the Basic Details stage include?

The Basic Details tab captures the basic details of the [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md), as described in the below table:

<table><thead><tr><th width="222">Captured Information	</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="/pages/b0bdbv2hGa9QJ0n8knma">Participant(s)</a></td><td>This allows for the selection of <a href="/pages/b0bdbv2hGa9QJ0n8knma">Participant(s)</a> by simply typing a name of a Participant (or multiple) or by clicking on the <code>Filter</code> icon which allows for <a href="/pages/mQ00ICthhv53ujIX4hN9">Smart Selection</a> of <a href="/pages/b0bdbv2hGa9QJ0n8knma">Participant(s)</a>.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/yQalnrrB1K1fJ8G3Di67">Resource(s) </a></td><td>This allows for the selection of <a href="/pages/yQalnrrB1K1fJ8G3Di67">Resource(s)</a> by simply typing a name of a Resource (or multiple) or by clicking on the <code>Filter</code> icon which allows for <a href="/pages/mQ00ICthhv53ujIX4hN9">Smart Selection</a> of <a href="/pages/yQalnrrB1K1fJ8G3Di67">Resource(s)</a>.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/Ts2ULv6w0E02aCvhh8Kn">Asset(s) </a></td><td>This allows for the selection of <a href="/pages/Ts2ULv6w0E02aCvhh8Kn">Asset(s)</a> by simply typing a name of a Asset (or multiple) or by clicking on the <code>Filter</code> icon which allows for <a href="/pages/mQ00ICthhv53ujIX4hN9">Smart Selection</a> of <a href="/pages/Ts2ULv6w0E02aCvhh8Kn">Asset(s)</a>.</td></tr><tr><td>Date &#x26; Time Details </td><td>The date and time details are pre-populated from the <a href="/pages/A93zwYpXAH8PIArSPAfS">Planner</a> so there is nothing to do for the user. </td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/oA0tKFKx36UIl33BkMO2">Appointment Service</a> </td><td>This allows for the selection of <a href="/pages/oA0tKFKx36UIl33BkMO2">Appointment Service(s)</a>.

### 1. Incorrect Ratio

This alert will show in the instance where you have an incorrect ratio. An incorrect ratio is a situation in which the number of selected [Resource(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md) or [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) does not match the specified ratio number.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
A ratio is an NDIS concept where the number of Resource(s) to Participant(s) for the Appointment, expressed as (Required Resources) : (Required Participants) \
e.g. 1 Resource supporting 3 Participants would be 1:3.\
\
To learn more about Ratios, click [here](https://ourguidelines.ndis.gov.au/would-we-fund-it/home-and-living-supports/21-ratio-support)
{% endhint %}

For example, if you have an incorrect ratio of [Resource(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md), **Maica** will alert you with the following warning:&#x20;

`The Appointment does not have the required number of Resources allocated.`

In this instance, **Maica** will still allow you to continue to the next stage of creating your [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md). However, it will result in an unfulfilled appointment. Upon completion, an unfulfilled appointment, like any appointment, will be billed against the [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) [Service Agreement](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/service-agreement.md) based on the ratio, **not** the selected [Resource(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md). &#x20;

In order to resolve the Incorrect Ratio alert, ensure that the number of selected [Resource(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md) and [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) match the specified ratio. [For example](https://ourguidelines.ndis.gov.au/would-we-fund-it/home-and-living-supports/21-ratio-support): If you have 2 resources allocated to your appointment, ensure your ratio number is set to 2.&#x20;

### 2. Participant(s) have no Agreement for selected Appointment Service.

This alert will show in the instance where the selected [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) have no [Agreement](/maica-knowledge-base/service-agreements/agreement-management.md) for the selected [Appointment Service](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment-service.md). When this is the case, the [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) will be marked in red (as shown) and the `Next` button will become unavailable. This is a restriction that **Maica** enforces where the user cannot continue to create the [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md).

In order to resolve this alert, you **must** select an [Appointment Service](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment-service.md) that the selected [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) have an [Agreement](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/service-agreement.md) for and hence can be billed against after your [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md) is delivered.

When the [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) have an [Agreement](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/service-agreement.md) for the selected [Appointment Service](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment-service.md), the alert will be replaced by the following:&#x20;

&#x20;&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/t48rRy5GDr9FMNiWB0jY" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Provides an overview of the selected service and the available funding in the [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) plan for said service.&#x20;
2. Indicates that the service will be billed against a Category Agreement Item&#x20;
3. Indicates that the service will be billed against a Statement Agreement Item&#x20;
4. Allows for multiple services to be added to the [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md), as long as the selected [Participant(s)](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/participant.md) have an [Agreement](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/service-agreement.md) for all Services being added. &#x20;

### 3. Resource(s) have a Roster Mode conflict

This alert will show in the instance where the selected Resource(s) have a Roster Mode conflict and hence cannot be allocated to the proposed Appointment. This error is also a restriction that **Maica** enforces where the user cannot continue to create an Appointment.

{% hint style="info" %}
`Roster Mode` in **Maica** is used to define the behaviour and validation applied when scheduling `Appointments` for a `Resource`. When selecting a `Roster Mode` for a `Resource`, there are two selectable options. These are:

* `Appointment`: This means Appointments can be scheduled at any time for a Resource provided it is within any active Availability record(s) if these exist. If no Availability record(s) exist, Appointments can be created at any time.
* `Shift`: This means Appointments can only be scheduled within a Shift that a Resource is part of and it is within any active Availability record(s) if these exist. If no Availability record(s) exist, Appointments still must fall within a Shift that the Resource is assigned to.
  {% endhint %}

In order to resolve this alert, you **must** select Resource(s) that are set to a Roster Mode of `Appointment` during the time of the proposed Appointment, or, if they are set to `Shift`, the proposed Appointment must be scheduled during an active Shift for the allocated Resource(s).

You can set a Resource(s) Roster Mode on their [Resource Profile](/maica-knowledge-base/resources/resource-profile.md), [Availability Records](/maica-knowledge-base/resources/resource-profile.md), or by using a [Global Setting](/maica-knowledge-base/maica-administration-guide/settings/rostering-management.md) in your Maica organisation for all Resource(s). To learn more, click the links.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
It is important to note that if a `Resource` has a `Roster Mode` set on their Resource Record that is different to the `Roster Mode` set for a specific `Availability` Record, the `Availability` Record Mode will take precedent during the `Availability` period. \
\
If No `Availability` Records are found and the `Roster Mode` is not set on the `Resource` Record: the `Roster Mode` for the `Resource` will be defined by the `Global Roster Mode` setting. This is configurable in the **Maica** [Rostering Management](https://knowledge.maica.com.au/maica-knowledge-base/v/maica-administration-guide/settings/rostering-management) settings.
