Create a Non-Voyage Exp/Rev or a Journal Entry for the Admin Fee

When expenses/revenues related to these accounts are incurred, they must be entered as Non-Voyage Expenses/Revenues or Journal Entries. In the Financials module, you can create them as Transaction Data Entries with Invoice Type Non-Voyage Exp/Rev or as Journal Entries. For both types, the Accounting Date must be in the Pooling Distribution period for which you want to distribute the Admin Fee.

Note: Eff Start Date and Eff End Date fields have been added to the Pooling Distribution form.

When selected, a new [POOL-ADMIN] line appears, with the Admin BP (Admin Before Pooling) and Admin AP (Admin After Pooling) columns populated for all the vessels. The Admin Fee is distributed to the vessel owners proportional to their Income After Pooling (Income AP).

Income AP of the vessel / Total income of the pool = Admin AP of the vessel / Total Admin Fee
In this example: $477,884.39 / ($477,884.39 + $345,756.71) = −$8,703.14 / (−$8,703.14 − $6,296.86)

Note: The payment details do not show the breakdown, but only the total distributed amount.
