For a cargo owner/vessel charterer, creating a VIP - Cargo or VC In contract (which can be from a COA) and then scheduling the voyage is a common workflow. Optionally, you can create an Estimate before scheduling. It can also be used for operators who may have forward fixtures, particularly if your business has many COAs. Finally, for clients who use the Trading and Risk Management module, it is common to create your Estimate from a Cargo with a linked Benchmark Estimate.
...
A Voyage Charter In (VC In) looks similar to a VIP - Cargo, except that it has an Owner field instead of a Charterer field and other fields related to a purchase rather than a sale. You can use it to view and manage VC In contracts; for details, see information on the VIP - Cargo form. VC In contracts also appear on the Trading P&L Summary.
...
If you have the Bulk Update Cargo Contracts Module Right selected, under Actions in Chartering, a column of check boxes appears in the VC In List. To bulk update VC Ins, select the contracts you want to update and then click the Bulk Update action link at the top of the list. To select multiple consecutive rows, select the first row and then press and hold Shift. Select the last row and then release Shift.
