New in Journals: Support for Accruing Freight by Individual BL Dates for Multi-Cargo Voyages
A new checkbox, Prorate Freight Revenue on a Per Cargo Basis, is now in the Accruals Form. When selected, the accruals program uses the BL Date for individual cargo(s) and the cargo’s BL quantity to calculate the accrual percentage and amount to accrue for freight.

When you set the CFGDefaultPnlCalcApplyInternalFreightRevenue configuration flag to Y, internal cargoes accrue 100% to the period of the BL Date.
