Configuration flag CFGEnableStandards enables the use of standards for expenses and the use of an ECA Recovery Charge. You can set up fee calculation rules for the ECA Recovery Charge on this form. An ECA Recovery Charge is a standard revenue that can be invoiced with freight.
Cargoes must meet the following conditions:
- Non-multigrade: The Cargo can have only one load port and one discharge port.
- Multigrade (CFGEnableMultiGrade): Each Grade within a Cargo Group can have only one load port and one discharge port.
In the Data Center 
, under Other, click ECA Recovery Charge.
Adding ECA Recovery Charges to Voyages and Estimates
You can automatically add an ECA Recovery Charge to voyages and Estimates based on an Extra Freight Term. When there is deadfreight, an ECA Recovery Charge can be applied to it.
- ECA Recovery Charge: The amount is calculated according to this table, using BL Quantity when available, otherwise Load quantity.
When multigrade cargo is disabled, the amount is calculated according to the Cargo; when enabled, according to the Cargo Group. - ECA Recovery Deadfreight: The amount is calculated according to this table, then multiplied by the Deadfreight Extra Freight Term DP percentage in the Cargo.
To set up an ECA Recovery Charge:
- Add IMOS - Extra Freight Terms:
- ECA Recovery Charge: Code EC, Type Lumpsum
- ECA Recovery Deadfreight: Code ED, Type Lumpsum
- Add ECA Recovery Charge calculation rules:
- On the ECA Recovery Charge form, click Edit Row.
- For each row, enter the conditions for the fee calculation. You can specify Effective Date, Vessel Type, Cargo Group Code, Agreed Distance, Metric Tons, to create a formula to calculate the Fee.
- The ECA Factor can be specified on IMOS - CP Terms Details. When a COA is created from a Voyage Estimate, it is copied to the COA and can be edited there. When a COA Lifting is created, it is copied to the Cargo and can be edited there. When a Cargo is scheduled, it is copied to a back-created Voyage Estimate.
- If you do not fill in the fields, they default to Anything.
- If you do not specify the Agreed Distance or Metric Tons, the calculation will use the Agreed Distance specified on the IMOS - Agreed Distances form and the Metric Tons specified for the Cargo in the voyage itinerary.
- For example calculations, contact your Professional Services representative.
- On the ECA Recovery Charge form, click Edit Row.
Viewing the ECA Recovery Charge
For Voyage Estimates and voyages, if the rule in the ECA Recovery Charge decision table applies to the Vessel Type and a Cargo Group, when Standards are applied or refreshed, any Lumpsum Extra Freight Terms are added/refreshed in the Cargo (with multigrade disabled) or Cargo Group (with multigrade enabled). When multigrade is enabled:
- For Voyage Estimates, the ECA Recovery Charges are broken down to the Grade level in the Estimate P&L report.
- For voyages, the ECA Recovery Charges are broken down to the Grade level in the Voyage P&L Report, on the Voyage Manager P&L tab, and on the Freight Invoice.
