Review an expired reservation before reallocating the goods

Resolve an active extension or pending handover before releasing a timed-out reservation.

Check the reservation’s latest business decision

The sample policy sends reservations to staff review at their cutoff; it does not release them automatically. At 14:00, RSV-Q has passed its 13:00 cutoff, but the order owner recorded a valid extension to 16:00 at 12:50. RSV-R expired at 13:00 with no extension and no physical pick. These times are synthetic local-clock inputs.

Release only the reviewed expiry case

  1. Queue records past listed cutoff
  2. Check valid extensions
  3. Check pick and handover state
  4. Owner retains or releases
  5. Record reason and next cutoff if retained

An unresolved handover remains a custody investigation, even when its reservation cutoff has passed.

The review produces two different outcomes: Q remains reserved and R releases two units. S stays unresolved. A batch action on the original 13:00 timestamps would mishandle both Q and S. Actual extension permissions and cutoff meaning must be supplied by the business.

How many of the listed eight units are released at 14:00?

Show the worked answer

Two under RSV-R. Five under Q remain reserved until its current 16:00 cutoff, and one under S remains unresolved.
