Configuration flag CFGUseVoyestVoyageDeviation enables the Deviation Estimate functionality.
With a Deviation Estimate, you can create a snapshot Estimate and evaluate how changes to a voyage itinerary affect the P&L. A Deviation Estimate cannot be fixed.
Creating a Deviation Estimate
On the Voyage Manager toolbar, click and then click Create New.
A snapshot of the Voyage P&L is taken, and an Estimate opens in a new tab with all voyage information populated. A Deviation Estimate is indicated by a highlighted Estimate ID field, with a tooltip in Details view showing the linked vessel/voyage and the snapshot date and time.
- The initial version of the Deviation Estimate is saved, and the P&L Summary fields are uneditable and populated with values calculated by the following formula:
P&L snapshot + (P&L of the current Estimate - P&L of the initial Deviation Estimate related to the snapshot) - The snapshot can be accessed from the Voyage P&L panel.
- Any Bareboat costs (hire and misc costs) for the Estimate's period are translated to an average Daily Rate and added to the vessel's Daily Cost.
- XADDCOMM applies to total vessel expenses, including Bareboat, even if XADDCOMM is not in the Bareboat contract.
- To open a Deviation Estimate, click and then click Open Existing.
- You can also open a set of Deviation Estimates that are based on the same voyage snapshot.
Importing Cargoes from a Deviation Estimate to a Voyage
From a Deviation Estimate, you can create Cargoes and link them to the voyage.
- Open the voyage and create a Deviation Estimate.
- In the Deviation Estimate, add one or more Cargoes.
- On the Deviation Estimate column or details menu, click Add Deviation Cargoes to Voyage.
The Cargoes are added to the voyage, with their load and discharge ports included at the end of the itinerary.
