  • Voyage Expense Standards create lines on the Other Voyage Expenses form, on the Other Expenses tab.
  • Port Expense Standards create lines on the Other Voyage Expenses form, on the Detailed Port Expenses tab.
  • Standard Expenses are automatically evaluated when:
    • A Voyage Estimate is created or modified; this may cause standard expenses to be added or removed from the Estimate.
    • A Voyage Estimate is scheduled; this may cause standard expenses to be added to the voyage.
    • A Cargo is scheduled; this may cause standard expenses to be added to the voyage and a Voyage Estimate to be back-created.
    • A voyage is modified; this may cause standard expenses to be added or removed from the voyage and a Voyage Estimate to be back-created.
  • Change the voyage commence date/time by as little as one second to manually force the reapplication of all standard expenses to a Voyage or Voyage Estimate. 
  • When expense standards are reapplied, any existing expenses created from standards are removed, and manual edits are overwritten or removed.
  • When you are updating a standard expense, please ensure the previous standard expense is using an "Effective to" date to avoid duplication.

Note: When adding new or modifying Standard Expenses, these changes will not take effect in additional browser tabs. In order the changes to take effect for future estimates or voyages users will need to close tabs that were open before the changes were made and open new ones. This allows the database to properly refresh and update the system with new logic (e.g. user has the Standard Expenses open in one tab and a Estimates open in another tab. If the user makes chances to Standard Expenses, they will need to close the existing Estimates tab and open a new one for the new rules to take effect).

CFGEnableStandards

Hides the Port Expense field on some forms, enables standards for expenses, and adds a Port Expenses Details form and a Port Expenses Details button on the Port Expenses Summary to open it. When detail-level port expenses are being used, the PortExp column in the Voyage Itinerary behaves the same as the PortExp column in the Estimate itinerary:

  • For a port with no detail-level port expenses, you can edit its PortExp amount in the Voyage Itinerary Cargo Tab. The voyage P&L shows this amount as estimated expenses for that port.
  • For a port with a single detail-level expense, that amount appears and can be edited in the voyage itinerary PortExp field. An estimated expense entered before creating the detail-level expense is no longer displayed in the voyage P&L.
  • For a port with multiple detail-level expenses, the itinerary PortExp field shows the sum of the detail-level expenses for that port and cannot be edited.
  • When CFGVoyageExpenseAllocation is set to Y, a Voyage Expense Allocation section will be added to the Voyage Estimate Profit & Loss Report, and optionally to the Voyage Profit & Loss Report.

An ECA Factor field also appears on COA, Cargo/VC In, and CP Terms Details forms. When ECAFactor is used in an IMOS ECA Recovery Charge Results/Fee expression and an ECA Factor value is entered on a contract, an ECA Recovery Charge Extra Freight Term is generated on that contract.

  • When a COA is created from an Estimate, ECA Factor is copied from CP Terms to the COA.
  • When a COA Lifting is created, ECA Factor is copied from the COA to the Cargo.
  • When a cargo is scheduled, ECA Factor is copied from the cargo to the backcreated Estimate.
CFGEnableVoyEstUpdates

Automatically updates Standard Expenses on an Estimate to reflect changes in the voyage:

  • The Estimate for a scheduled/commenced/completed voyage is back-created each time the voyage is saved.
  • Actual (BL) load and discharge quantities are used in standard expense calculations on voyages and Estimates when they are available. If actual quantities are not available, planned lift quantities are used.
  • Any changes to Detailed Port Expenses are maintained when a standard is reapplied.
  • Manually entered Expected Actual values are maintained for existing standard expenses.
  • Standard expenses that no longer apply because of changes in voyage data or standard definitions are maintained if Expected Actual values have been entered.
  • On the Port Expenses Details form, the Estimate column shows the estimated port expenses from the Estimate linked to the voyage.
CFGEnableAllStdExpMatches

When enabled along with CFGEnableStandards, the Standard Expenses form is available instead of the Expense Standards form. All standard expense definitions created using this form are individually evaluated and applied to voyages and Estimates.

Also, a Rebill Type column is available in the Business Rules table, and is part of a unique index of the table. It allows the following values: Non-Rebillable, Rebillable, Advance Rebillable, <blank>. For the same Source and Code, an applicable rule whose Rebill Type column is not blank takes precedence over a rule whose Rebill Type column is blank.
