The ability to store, update, and display default Worldscale Rates for particular Routes depends on these Chartering Module Rights:
- Save New Worldscale Route
- Update Existing Worldscale Flat Rate
If the properties of a Cargo Itinerary are updated in an Estimate, Voyage Fixture, or Voyage, an attempt will be made to fetch an existing Worldscale Route for the new Cargo Itinerary. Matches are made based on the first five L/D ports, the Worldscale Year, the Freight Type (W), and the first transit port with Cargo onboard.
- If the WSC Flat Rate differs from the Worldscale Route saved to the database, a warning indicates that the WSC Flat Rate in use differs from the stored Flat Rate.
- If the Route in use does not yet exist in the database, a warning indicates that the Worldscale Rate/Route has not been saved.
If you have the right to save a new Worldscale route or flat rate, when you save an Estimate/Voyage Fixture/Voyage, you are asked if you want to update the existing Worldscale Route. For Worldscale Rates, this only occurs if the Flat Rate has changed since opening the existing Estimate/Voyage Fixture/Voyage.
When you load an unfixed Estimate, if the Flat Rate for the Worldscale Route used differs from the Worldscale Flat Rate used for a Cargo, the WSC Flat Rate is automatically updated, based on the Flat Rate on the current Worldscale Route in the database.
When you copy an Estimate, the Worldscale Year on a Cargo is updated to the current year.
From the Cargo grid in the Estimate/Voyage Fixture/Voyage, right-click a line item for an option to create a new Worldscale Route (if the route does not yet exist in the database) or update the Worldscale Flat Rate (if the Flat Rate differs from the route's Flat Rate in the database). These options allow you to save the Worldscale parameters without saving the Estimate/Voyage Fixture/Voyage itself.
Notes for Fixed/Variable Differentials on stored Routes appear in the Spot Estimate Column view. These notes can be edited on the CP Terms Details form for the Cargo associated with the route, using the Remarks toolbar button.
