For some bookings it is not necessary to book a specific item for a specific person. You can book objects for a class and distribute them to the class.
For example, a teacher can book a class set of textbooks for one or more classes. In this case, it is not necessary to specify which textbook from the set is to be booked for each individual student. Thus, a class booking is made in which a set of objects are booked against a class. Synergetic assigns individual books to each student in the class.
