Add Weight

Prerequisites:

If you use resources, at least one resource group and resource is assigned to the product.

📒 NOTE

Similarly to capacity, 'Max Weight' can be configured both on the product and on the associated resource. Bookings are allowed until the lower limit is reached.

If both capacity and weight limits are set, availability is determined by whichever limit is reached first.
