When the voyage results are in for a distribution period (typically one month), the Pooling Distribution form can calculate the earnings and losses of the pool in the distribution period and distribute them to each vessel owner. This is done by taking a monthly accrual snapshot to capture the static state of the voyage results. This snapshot is created when the IMOS - Monthly Accruals form creates the accrual adjustment journals. When the monthly accrual journal is posted, all the voyage profits and losses of the month go to your general ledger accounts; running the pooling distribution basis the same snapshot guarantees that the same voyage profits and losses are distributed to the pool partners. For more details about how the numbers are calculated, see IMOS - Pooling Distribution Calculation Details.
