Planned dates and extensions #52

Closed jiripetrzelka closed 1 month ago

jiripetrzelka commented 2 years ago

If the mobility is extended, for example if the student decides (and gets approval) to prolong the stay from one semester to entire year, should the planned departure date be updated by the sending institution?

Or should this always reflect the original dates that have been signed in the Participant's Agreement?

This is a business question rather than a technical one. You should probably change the date, but I guess there are no strict European Commission guidelines on this. Maybe you should ask your National Agency.

jiripetrzelka commented 2 years ago

If I am to ask NA about it, I will need to point them to the underlying document based on which the specification has been created. Can you point me to the template or website which you based the specification on?

I have now searched the guidelines on this page again, but I think there is nothing to answer your question.

If we take the OLA implementation as a reference implementation (since it is based on the LA template), then planned dates should change in case of an extension. There is no specific rule, but it is common (IRO) sense.

jiripetrzelka commented 2 years ago

I agree with @lioliosn that if the API is based on the LA template then we should provide the most up-to-date dates and I think that this should be clearly stated in the documentation so that each partner can be sure what dates they get from the counterparty.
