Home > Operations > P&L Calculation Options


P&L calculation options are available when you have enabled the configuration flag CFGShowPNLCalcOptions. By selecting these options, you can modify certain areas of the P&L calculation, typically using a prorata calculation or a more specific calculation for certain values.

With the Modify P&L Calculation Options Module Right selected under Financials Actions in Security, you can toggle the P&L calculation options on the Monthly AccrualsVoyage Period Journals, and Voyage P&L Summary Report forms. Without it, you can only use these forms with the P&L Options as set by the configuration flags beginning with Default P&L Calc.

Option Descriptions and Availability

If no P&L calculation options are changed from their defaults, all P&L items will be calculated according to configuration flag settings. Off Hire will be included in voyage duration and thus reflected in the Portion %.

These options are all valid for Monthly Accruals and the Voyage P&L Summary Report, but may not all be valid in Period-Based Voyage P&L and Voyage Period Journals. This table shows where the check box will have effect if used ( = option is applied to calculation/report; X = option is not applied to calculation/report).
