Where that does come into play is determining when the math starts on applying the newly earned PB/PR day (s). This is the one and only thing I can think of where the precedent/application actually used by the company (PR rounding up) is actually more generous/liberal than the SRH.
Take a look at the example I referenced in the SRH. If you took that scenario to the facebooks or here, most answers would say that the pilot should get an additional PB day over what the example says. They would say "Round the PR to PB, then he has 2 interrupted X days. When in fact, the second rotation only interrupts one X day that goes from 2000 on the 11th until 2000 on the 12th.

This was the original post that I responded to. The report time is very relevant. In the scenario in the SRH, if the report time for the trip was 1959 instead of 2100, the pilot would be due an additional PB day.

By definition, an interrupted PR is an interrupted X day, and that is inherent in knowing the number of X days interrupted.
But again, you are right that report time relative to PR end-time at the start of a rotation is important to know, it just didn’t apply here.
An interrupted PR it
the end of a previously started PB day. It is not a separate day. When calculations are done according to the SRH, a PR is
always included in the PB day that started sometime on the previous calendar day. How many PB days you get depends on the report time of the new rotation to determine how many of your non-midnight X days are interrupted.
