Name/FlagDescription
Scenario Select in Voyage Estimate
CFGScenarioSelectInVoyest

Adds a Program field to the Voyage Estimate so you can assign the Estimate to a program in the Estimate Schedule.

Enable Voyage Estimate TCE APS
CFGEnableVoyestTceAps

Adds an APS TCE (Arrival at Pilot Station TCE) field to the P&L Summary for OVOV and TCOV voyage types.

APS TCE uses the same calculation as the TCE field, but with the following ballast costs removed:

  • All bunker expenses incurred before arrival at the first Load Port
  • All port expenses and tolls at any port prior to the first Load Port, including Other Revenues and Expenses that are linked to those ports

To use APS TCE, CFGEnableVoyestTceDeviation must be disabled.

Recalc Distances on Estimate Copy
CFGRecalcDistancesOnEstimateCopy

When copying a Voyage Estimate, if the Distances information in the Voyage Estimate does not match the current Distance calculation, then this information, along with low sulfur distances and Fuel Zone information (if enabled), will be updated in the Voyage Estimate copy.

Voyage Expense Allocation
CFGVoyageExpenseAllocation

Adds a Voyage Expense Allocation section to the Voyage Estimate Profit & Loss Report, and optionally to the Voyage Profit & Loss Report. Note that this requires CFGEnableStandards to also be set to Y.

Enable Standards
CFGEnableStandards

Hides the Port Expense field on some forms, enables standards for expenses, and adds a Port Expenses Details form and a Port Expenses Details button on the Port Expenses Summary to open it. When detail-level port expenses are being used, the PortExp column in the Voyage Manager Itinerary behaves the same as the PortExp column in the Voyage Estimate itinerary:

  • For a port with no detail-level port expenses, you can edit its PortExp amount in the Voyage Manager Itinerary Cargo Tab. The voyage P&L shows this amount as estimated expenses for that port.
  • For a port with a single detail-level expense, that amount appears and can be edited in the voyage itinerary PortExp field. An estimated expense entered before creating the detail-level expense is no longer displayed in the voyage P&L.
  • For a port with multiple detail-level expenses, the itinerary PortExp field shows the sum of the detail-level expenses for that port and cannot be edited.
  • When CFGVoyageExpenseAllocation is set to Y, a Voyage Expense Allocation section will be added to the Voyage Estimate Profit & Loss Report, and optionally to the Voyage Profit & Loss Report.

An ECA Factor field also appears on COA, Cargo/VC In, and CP Terms Details forms. When ECAFactor is used in an ECA Recovery Charge Results/Fee expression and an ECA Factor value is entered on a contract, an ECA Recovery Charge Extra Freight Term is generated on that contract.

  • When a COA is created from a Voyage Estimate, ECA Factor is copied from CP Terms to the COA.
  • When a COA Lifting is created, ECA Factor is copied from the COA to the Cargo.
  • When a cargo is scheduled, ECA Factor is copied from the cargo to the back-created Voyage Estimate.
Enable Vessel Import from Estimate
CFGEnableVesselImportFromEstimate

Note: Additional licensing is required for Vessel Data Integration.

When enabled, if a user searches for a Vessel in a Voyage Estimate that does not already exist in the database, instead of asking the user to create a new Vessel, they will have the option to import from configured external vessel data sources.

Default TCI on Estimate Vessel Select
CFGDefaultTCIOnEstimateVesselSelect

When enabled, a TC In or Head Fixture will be automatically assigned when selecting a vessel in the Voyage Estimate. When disabled, users will have to manually select a TC In/Head Fixture in the Voyage Estimate.

Enable Voyage Estimate TCE Profit Share
CFGEnableVoyestTceProfitShare

When enabled, PShare %/TCE fields appear on the Voyage Estimate column view.

Additionally, when CFGUseMultiOwners is enabled, a Profit Share % field appears on the Owner Information form.

Voyage ID Includes Date
CFGVoyIdIncludesDate

If enabled, the ending year digits are automatically included in the voyage ID.

Use Multi Owners
CFGUseMultiOwners

Enables you to assign multiple owners to a vessel. To open the Owner Information form, click on the Vessel toolbar.

Manually Lock Estimates
CFGManuallyLockEstimates

When enabled, users with the Lock An Estimate or Unlock An Estimate Module Rights can manually lock or unlock estimates. Locked estimates cannot be edited.

In the Report Designer, the locking status of an estimate can be reported on using the Voyage Estimate > Is Locked field.
