Enables Unit of Measure Conversion for MT, BBL, and M3.
- Group defaults can be overridden at an individual grade level on the Cargo Name form or on the Estimate/Voyage Fixture/Voyage.
- With this option, several additional columns appear on forms:
- Cargo Groups: CP Unit, Lift Unit, Alt Lift Unit, and Convert
- CP Terms Details: Alt Qty and Alt Unit on the Itinerary tab of the grid
- Estimate, Voyage Fixture, and Voyage Itinerary grid: Alt Qty and Alt Unit on the Draft/Restrictions tab
If there are Within Data Center, if the Cargo Group has the Convert checkbox selected; and within the Cargo/Estimate/Fixture/Voyage, there is a value and a unit of measure for L/D Qty, a unit of measure for Alt Unit, and nonzero values for API/SG, then the Alt Qty value is automatically calculated. An L/D Qty can also be calculated from a manually entered Alt Qty: To trigger recalculation, enter the Alt Qty and then clear the L/D Qty value. This procedure can also be used to calculate the quantities based on a manually entered API/SG.
