Because you need to add information about your banks to the Address form for your company and add information about your contacts' banks to their Address records, you might find it easiest to start by completing Bank Address forms.

Address Book

The Address Book contains all addresses that you have the right to view.

  • On the main menu , under Data Center, next to Address, click List.

  • In the Data Center quick links, click:

  • Insert excerpt
    IMOS - List View
    IMOS - List View
    nopaneltrue

  • By default, the following filter is applied, but you can change it: Status is not Inactive

Address

To view an existing Address, on the Address Book, click its row or Full Name link. If the Full Name is not visible, click into the field and use the right arrow on the keyboard to scroll to the right and view the full name.

To create a new Address:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • On the Address Book, click +.

    • On the main menu Image Modified, under Data Center, click Address.

    Image Modified
    • Insert excerpt
      IMOS - Details View - Card Panels
      IMOS - Details View - Card Panels
      nopaneltrue

    • To share an address, copy its URL and then share it with any signed-in users in your organization.

    • Address details are in the center:

      • Information appears in Remittance Information, Contacts, and other sections, depending on the address Type. (When counterparty type set to Owner this list will be displayed when selecting a remittance bank within the claims tab of Laytime Calculation)

      • You can access additional tools, forms, and information on the toolbar and right panel.

  2. Complete at least the following information:

    • Types: The form has slight differences for Bank (Type N) or Company (Type W) entries.

    • Short Name: The Short Name for Types other than W can be up to 32 characters, but if you will use mirroring for internal companies, the Short Name for all companies must be the same. Because a W record is limited to 6 characters, the internal Owner and Charterer Type records are also limited to 6 characters.

      • Note: the Short Name cannot be changed on the system. This is due to wide implications across the system and is deemed very unsafe for data integrity. Other details such as the full name, address details etc., can be changed, however the short name is used in multiple tables across the system and for these reasons the field cannot be changed. We recommend making the vendor with the old short name inactive, and creating a new vendor using the new short name.

    • Curr: Check that the default currency is correct; otherwise, select the currency in which you deal with this contact.
      Note: The base currency cannot be modified on W companies.

    • Full Name

    • Address: Enter at least the first line.

      Anchor
      RefCode
      RefCode

    • Reference No. (up to 32 characters): This field is used in Barging for forming Contract IDs for Time Charter, SPOT, or COA Equipment Contracts; it is required for any Charterer or Owner being added to one of these contracts.

  3. Complete additional fields as needed.

    • Credit Term, for number of days, and Credit Line are as advised by the Chartering Accountant. This is for information only and will not trigger any validation when invoicing.

  4. Save the form.

Note: When creating Agent address book entries, ensure that the Veslink ID field is populated with the Agent’s Company Code from veslink.com. If you do not know this value, feel free to reach out to Veson Nautical Support for assistance.

Toolbar

  • Use tools on the toolbar to create, find, save, or delete records.

  • Ports Serviced: View or enter ports serviced by the contact.
