To define pricing for a COA:

If your contract is simple, use the Itinerary/Options tab to define your itinerary and pricing; do not use the Pricing tab.
For flexibility in creating an itinerary for complex contracts, use the Pricing tab.

Itinerary/Options Tab

Load Options and Discharge Options grids: Each potential load and discharge port and the terms that apply to the port.
- When you add a Port to an Options grid, the Berth defaults ot to Quay.
- When you select a Port and Berth combination in the Itinerary that matches a Load or Discharge Option line, that information automatically populates. You can change the ports and/or terms on the Cargo form; manually overwritten values appear as blue text.
To open the Port form, for example to update berth details, right-click a Port or Port/Area row and then click Port.

This tab is similar to the Cargo Pricing tab.
