Extend a package with a traceable validity decision

Change a package boundary deliberately and review bookings affected by the new validity period.

Define the extension unit and scope

Synthetic rule: an approved extension adds seven calendar days to the existing unusable-from boundary. It changes no session quantities and revives no cancelled booking. Use the approved old boundary as the starting point; applying the same approval twice must not add fourteen days.

Save the approved boundary change

  1. Read approval X-1, its target package and old boundary.
  2. Move the boundary to 18 Oct 00:00 and record both timestamps.
  3. Re-evaluate future eligibility without recreating cancelled bookings.

If a different extension has already changed the boundary, reconcile approvals before adding days.

A new session starts at 18 Oct 00:00. Can P-X fund it?

Show the worked answer

No. The rule requires a start before the unusable boundary. A 17 Oct 23:30 start would meet the time test, subject to the other booking conditions.

The approval record should explain why validity changed; the session statement should still reconcile to the unchanged package total.
