Allocate a booking that requires more than one session unit

Record each package contribution when a booking requires a defined number of session units.

Fix the unit cost before allocating

Synthetic service requires three session units per booking. Two valid packages may combine their available units; partial funding does not confirm the booking. Session units are entitlements, not hours or money. The operator must agree this combination rule before using the workflow.

Keep each contributing allocation

  1. Read the service cost and eligible package balances.
  2. Choose contributions totalling three and verify all source packages.
  3. Record both held lines against B-M; settle or reverse each line together.

If only two eligible units exist, leave the booking unconfirmed and preserve both units; do not hold a misleading partially confirmed reservation.

An eligible cancellation of B-M returns how many units to each package?

Show the worked answer

Return two to P-M1 and one to P-M2. A single three-unit return to P-M2 would alter package ownership and expiry exposure.

The customer-facing session statement needs the required units and allocation split so the deduction can be understood.
