Profit Sharing enables recording and storing profit share agreements on a Time Charter In or Head Fixture and using this data for payments and Trading calculations.
Profit Sharing Contracts
For profit sharing contracts with the Owner and other counterparties, you can record profit share contracts and issue invoices based on linked voyages.
On the Time Charter In or Head Fixture, click .
When configuration flag CFGTcJointVenture is enabled, click and then click Profit Sharing Contracts.
Contracts Tab
The Contracts tab has two sections.
In each section, record profit share contracts for a specific Period Type.
- Profit Share with Owner
- Profit Share with Counterparty
- The Counterparty can be any Address Book contact other than the Owner.
- The Counterparty profit share is applied to the balance remaining after profit sharing with the Owner.
In both sections:
- To Voyage: For an in-progress TC with voyages that are not yet created, if Period Type is Voyage, leave this field blank to have it default to the latest voyage associated with the contract. When making subsequent payments for the same counterparty, previous payments will be reversed and re-calculated on the invoice along with the addition of any newly created voyages.
Invoices Tab and Payment
