Approval status
Approval status is the position a booking holds in the admin-approval workflow. When a syndicate requires booking approval, a member’s new booking starts pending. An admin then either confirms it (status becomes confirmed) or rejects it (status becomes rejected). The exception is a member’s personal booking that had already ended when they made it, such as a flight they forgot to book: it goes in confirmed, and every admin gets a Booking added late notification.
Approval only applies to regular members; admin bookings skip the pending queue, even when approval is required for others, and so does a member’s booking that had already ended. A member cannot “reject” their own booking; they cancel, which is distinct from rejection.
Rejection is kept separate from cancellation so that a member sees clearly that someone else declined their booking, rather than a self-service cancel.
