Set service job appointments and assigning appointment resources

Learn how to add or reschedule appointments for service jobs, and assign appointment resources.

Reschedule appointments for service jobs and assign appointment resources with the following operations:

• addAppointmentForServiceJobByServiceJobId
• rescheduleAppointmentForServiceJobByServiceJobId
• assignAppointmentResources

These operations confirm appointment preferences or add an initial appointment to any other valid start time in the future. Service sellers can reschedule an appointment to another valid start time in the future along with a reschedule reason.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need:

• Authorization from the seller for whom you are making calls. Refer to Authorizing Selling Partner Applications for more information.
• A service job identifier assigned to the service provider. Only jobs assigned to the service provider can be accessed.
• A future-dated appointment start time pre-configured in Amazon Systems for the service provider.

Note

• You can only add appointments in available future-date appointment slots (startTime + duration) that are pre-configured in Amazon Systems.
• If durationInMinutes is not provided, then the pre-configured service duration is picked automatically.
• If durationInMinutes is provided, then it should match the pre-configured appointment duration in Amazon Systems.

The RESOURCES_UNASSIGNED warning code in the response provides details of preassigned resources to the appointment that do not have an assignment. The service provider should assign new resources to the rescheduled appointment.
