About VC In

A Voyage Charter In (VC In) looks similar to a 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 Cargo form. VC In contracts also appear on the Trading P&L Summary.

VC In List

The VC In List contains all VC In contracts that you have the right to view.

• On the Trading menu , under Trades, next to VC In, click List.
• On the Chartering menu , under Cargo, next to VC In, click List.
  

• By default, the following filters are applied, but you can change them:

  • Status is not in the list Canceled, Withdrawn

  • Laycan From is on or after 365 days in the past

Bulk Updating VC Ins
