titleRelated Configuration Flags


Name/FlagDescription
Use Posted in Pooling
CFGUsePostedInPooling

The Pooling results are calculated from the latest Accrual snapshot, instead of the Actual P&L, and the Pooling Distribution form issues a warning detailing all the relevant voyages that do not have Monthly Accruals run.

Itemize Billdet by Vessel
CFGItemizeBilldetByVsl

Creates Pool Payment detail lines associated with each vessel, rather than just grouped by owner. This should always be enabled.

Mirror Invoice as Unposted
CFGActMirrorInvoiceAsUnposted

When enabled, auto-created mirror transactions will not be posted by default.

Pool Management Fee Use Income BP
CFGPoolMgtFeeUseIncomeBP

Calculates Pooling Management Fee based on gross income before pooling instead of income after pooling. This flag takes precedence over CFGDistributePoolComm.



CFGPoolMgtFeeUseIncomeBP = Y
CFGPoolMgtFeeUseIncomeBP = N
CFGDistributePoolComm = YMgt Fee = Gross Income BP * Mgt Fee %
Gross Income BP = sum of freight, demurrage, despatch, and TCI/TCO hire after deduction of commissions
  • Mgt Fee = Mgt Fee Weight * Gross Income
  • Mgt Fee Weight = Mgt Fee Contribution/Sum (Mgt Fee Contribution)
  • Mgt Fee Contribution = Pool Days * Mgt Fee %
  • Pool Days = Days * Points
CFGDistributePoolComm = NMgt Fee = Gross Income BP * Mgt Fee %
Gross Income BP = sum of freight, demurrage, despatch, and TCI/TCO hire after deduction of commissions
Mgt Fee = Income AP * Mgt Fee %


Distribute Pool Comm
CFGDistributePoolComm

When enabled, the pool management fee is calculated as a percentage of gross revenues and distributed in the same way as the pool result. When disabled, the pool management fee is calculated as a percentage of the vessel's net income after pooling.

Use Itemized Commission Rate
CFGUseItemizedCommissionRate

Enables setting multiple Commission rates for different Pool Vessels and adds Mgt Fee % and Mgt Fee/Day columns to the Pools and Pool Assignment forms.

Pool Use Default P&L Calc Options
CFGPoolUseDefaultPnlCalcOptions

When enabled, the default P&L calculation options are used when calculating pool distributions.

Pool Calc Options Effective Date
CFGPoolCalcOptionsEffectiveDate

When set, only voyages that complete on or after the date will use the default P&L calculation options (provided CFGPoolUseDefaultPnlCalcOptions is also enabled).
