The .TDEFAULT Voyage Estimate is a default Voyage Estimate that can be created by the admin user account. Only one .TDEFAULT Estimate can be used. It is blank by default; when edited and saved, its values populate every Voyage Estimate created by any user.
Example:
A Miscellaneous Expense, like a Hold Cleaning of $4,500, could appear on every Estimate as a Common Voyage Expense. There is no logic associated with it; that is, it cannot include a $4,500 Hold Cleaning for a Handymax, and a $4,000 one for a Handysize.
The .TDEFAULT effect on the Voyage Estimate is broader than the standard cost items described in the previous example. Functionalities within the Voyage Estimate menu, such as Auto Calc. by Max Lift Qty and Wait for Laycan, also feed into the Voyage Estimate if they are selected in .TDEFAULT.
Creating the .TDEFAULT Estimate
- Sign in as admin.
- Do either of the following:
- In Voyage Estimate Column or Details view, enter .TDEFAULT as the Estimate ID.
- Search for the existing .TDEFAULT Estimate in the Voyage Estimate List and then click its Estimate ID link.
- Enter the fixed data that you want to be part of every Voyage Estimate that is generated.
- Save the Voyage Estimate. The data will be included in all Voyage Estimates created by all users.
