Hi Vinod,
We had a similar requirement earlier.At that point of time,we created an upload program (ABAP) to book a set of students to modules.This is one option if you are not able to figure out the cohort functionality.

Ramesh.

Hi,
May I suggest that you read the documentation on the report RHIQCOH00 and look at the necessary steps in the IMG. It should give you an overview.

Hi,
This depends on the release you are on. Below is an extract from the documentation that should answer your question. If you have more specific questions, let me know.

Mass Module Booking
You can use the Cohort builder for mass module bookings. From the context objects of a cohort 'offerings' are created, that is, the cohort builder realizes, which study modules, events, event packages and time-independent events belong together in certain academic sessions and years. Ideally all students of the cohort should be booked on all offerings of the cohort for the academic terms in question. The system analyses, which of these bookings are already exist on the database and which ones have to be created. The user can carry out the already missing module bookings. You can do this even as a test and decide afterwords whether to save the module bookings to the database or not.
To execute the mass module booking you need to execute two steps:
Once you have selected a Cohort, press the 'Module Booking' button in the toolbar. The tab 'Bookings' will display all bookings available for the Students of this Cohort.
To analyze the missing bookings, press the button next to the 'Module Booking' button (Complete Module Bookings for a certain Cohort). Now missing/need bookings are added and can be seen in the tab 'Bookings'. To save the Bookings, press the 'save' button.
Module bookings should always be handled by cohorts of the context 'Module Booking' ('0001'). If - besides the study modules - event packages and/or events are involved, we recommend to arrange the events/event packages in sub-cohorts, whereas the corresponding study modules should be arranged in the (upper) main cohorts. Students should be members of the sub-cohorts, if they should be booked on the events/event packages.
Module bookings can be performed by the cohort builder, but the cohorts are not updated by the module booking application. Mass booking cancellations and booking changes cannot been done by the cohort builder yet.

Hi,
I am gonna reverse your questions:
2. Do u mean the Module Booking is present in the toolbar of cohort builder? It's not available in PIQCOHOO .
--> If it is not available on the Toolbar, then you're not on the correct release.
1. Whats the release should we have?
--> Enhancement Package 3 or higher
