IMOS - Time Charter Out

Sets up a hierarchy between Company, LOB, and Trade Area on several forms.

Clears the Company, LOB, and Department values when copying a Voyage Fixture or contract.

Sets the default status of Time Charter contracts.

Always ends the monthly Billing Period at the 1st of the next month, so every next invoice period is a complete month; otherwise, the Billing Period is always a complete month from the delivery date.

Uses the Less Days and More Days values for Min and Max Duration.

Adds an Ops Coordinator field.

Adds a Chtr Specialist field. The value in will be copied to the TCO Contract when fixing a TCO Estimate.

Adds a Profit Sharing button to the toolbar to enable entering Owner Profit Share details manually in both TCI and TCO. These profit sharing items will be included in the Time Charter Invoices.

Adds a Write Off field to the Hire Table in Time Charter In and Time Charter Out contracts. The Write Off amount is automatically added to the Hire on the invoice and is subject to the different commissions and Off Hire.

Sets a default Payment Method for brokers.

Enables Alerts for partial bunker deductions, to make sure charterers can collect the value of redelivered bunkers.

• On the Item Select form, the Bunkers On Redelivery items are only highlighted in yellow when the value of the contractual redelivery bunkers meets/exceeds the net hire left in the contract. The calculation of this date is based on the Period To value in the Time Charter invoice.
• A validation warning is added to the voyage, which appears for Last TCI/TCO Voyages with end quantities that are different than the Estimated Redelivery quantities in the linked Time Charter contract.
• Bunkers Cost on Redelivery line items (Quantity and Amount) are editable.
• An Unpriced Bunkers informational check box appears on the Bunkers tab.

Uses the consumption rates from the Vessel form instead. This can be used for performance at the end of the charter.

Specifies the Fuel Grade in a G (Grade) column on the Vessel or Time Charter In/Out form, which defaults the value on the Bunker Requirement; it can be overridden but is required for Confirmed status.

On the Voyage Manager, adds a Roles tab to set and view the five Key Users of the voyage: Chtr Coord (defaults from Cargo form), Ops Coord, Ops Coord 2, Controller, and FD Manager (Freight and Demurrage Manager).

On a Time Charter, adds a Roles tab to set the Controller and Finance Coordinator.

Adds an Owner's Account check box on the TC Out Bunkers Tab.

• When cleared, only ballast bunkers appear.
• Selecting this check box specifies that all bunkers consumed during this TC Out are on the owner's account. There will be no bunker sales to the charterer at delivery and no bunker purchases from the charterer at redelivery. Any bunkers lifted during the TC Out voyage will be on the owner's account, and bunker invoices must be paid by the owner, just like in an Own Voyage (OV).

Also, when this check box is selected, the Rebillable check box can be selected, which causes the Bunker Consumption in the voyage P&L to be net zero by adding a Rebill line for the Bunkers Consumption. This amount can be billed in the Time Charter Out Bill.

Causes TC Out Bunker Redelivery Adjustments to be calculated regardless of the status of the linked TC Out Fixture.

Enables the following types of intercompany contracts to be mirrored: Cargo COA, VC In COA, Cargo, VC In, Time Charter In, Time Charter Out, and FFA/Option/Bunker Swap Trade. When a contract of one of these types is created with internal counterparties, a mirrored contract is automatically created from the opposite perspective, so that users from both legal entities can manage the contract and include it in both their operational planning and their trading exposure and P&L.

• When both CFGEnableContractMirroring and CFGEnableTCInvoiceMirroring are Y, and when a TC contract is mirrored, TCO invoices are mirrored from TCI invoices. Incremental invoice type is unavailable for such mirrored TC invoices.
• If an **OV voyage has cargoes with multiple internal charterers, it can be mirrored with multiple RELT voyages, one for each internal charterer's company.

When enabled, it is possible to set overlapping hire Periods with specific accounting Codes on TC contracts. The following changes appear on the TC Pricing tab:

• In the Hire Rate table, a Code column appears. Possible values are blank (default), CAPEX, OPEX, and MISC.

  • Note: The following Business Rules must be set for TC In Payment (TCIP), TC Out Bill (TCOB), and Voyage Daily Cost (VCST):

    • TCIP:OPEX
    • TCIP:CAPEX
    • TCIP:MISC
    • TCOB:OPEX
    • TCOB:CAPEX
    • TCOB:MISC
    • VCST:OPEX
    • VCST:CAPEX
    • VCST:MISC

  • For hire lines with a Code specified, the Code is set as the Subcode and it is used for all relevant Business Rules.

  • To designate a hire line item as noncommissionable, enter a noncommissionable Operations Ledger Code.
• In the Lock column, a new option appears: Overlap. When selected, the From/To values of the line are editable, and it is possible to set this line as overlapping the others. Setting an overlapping line requires a different Code to be set.
• When an overlapping hire line is added, the overlapping Period is accounted for all across the system.

Adds Remittance Bank, Invoice %, Payment Terms, and Balance % fields to the CP Terms Details, Cargo COA, Cargo, VC In COA, and VC In forms. Also adds a Remittance Bank field to Time Charter Other Information. Remittance information flows between these places; for example, fixing an Estimate will transfer the remittance information.

• On a Cargo COA, VC In, or Time Charter Out, changing the Company clears the remittance bank information, as this may change with a change to the Company.
• On a VC In COA or Time Charter In, changing the Owner clears the remittance bank information, as this may change with a change to the Owner.
• A default value for the Remittance Bank for each currency can be selected in the Address Bank Links tab entry for Cargo COA, Cargo, and Time Charter Out (Other Information) contracts, but it can be changed later.

This flag controls the default setting for broker commissions on Claims by setting the default value of M on TC In, TC Out, Cargo, Cargo COA, VC In, and VC In COA broker grids. Possible values:

• 0 (default): Claims are not commissionable.
• 1: Claim commissions will be invoiced separately.
• 2: Commissions will be deducted from the Claim Invoice.

When enabled, the Commissionable setting of an Operations Ledger Code alone determines whether claim and freight adjustment line items are commissionable. When enabled, the commissionable setting cannot be overridden in invoices or per broker.

When enabled, you can share commissions between internal broker companies. For more information, see Sharing Commissions with Internal Brokers.

Also adds an Internal Counterparty column to the TCO Estimate Broker table.

When enabled, Cargo Broker Rules and Time Charter Broker Rules can be defined to add default brokers to contracts.

Also adds Add Default Brokers to the TCO Estimate toolbar to default internal brokers by applicable rules.

If enabled, displays an LOB (Line of Business) field on the Address (Type W), Voyage Estimate, Voyage Fixture, Voyage Manager, and contract forms.

Note: Requires IMOS v7.11.7333 or later.

When enabled, the TC Lease Accounting functionality is available.

Note : Requires IMOS v7.11.7394 or later, and CFGEnableTCLeaseAccounting must be set to Y .

The default lease transition date to use for Time Charter contracts.

When enabled, index-linked hire rate is calculated for pricing periods predetermined by hire start time and period length. Pricing periods should not be affected by individual invoicing periods. This configuration should only be enabled when CFGEnableGeneralUnpricedComponent is Y.
