Frequently Asked Questions
Does Berth Scheduling Require an additional license and/or expense for a client?

Berths need to be defined at the Port level.
Berth Cargo Compatibility should be populated if there are restrictions on the product type that can be loaded/discharged at a given port.
Bookings are required as the Berth Schedule is broken down into Unallocated and Allocated Bookings.
Specific Port Activities are required to be configured and mapped to the Activity Types required to actualize a port.
Berth Management Activity Default rules need to be configured to properly capture the estimated times at a berth, based on cargo/berths/port.
