Why is the despatch/demurrage invoice status in the Transaction Summary showing ‘Posted’ even though the invoice has not been posted?

Generally, when a Laytime Calculation for despatch/demurrage is invoiced but not yet posted, its status will be reflected as Ready for Approval in the Transaction Summary.

However, if demurrage is allocated to other counterparties in the Demurrage Allocation Summary, the despatch/demurrage invoice status in the Transaction Summary will automatically be reflected as Posted even though the invoice is not yet posted.

If you try to post the invoice, you will encounter a warning message that prevents you from doing so.

If you are not intending to use this demurrage allocation function and want to post the despatch/demurrage invoice successfully, you may remove the demurrage cost allocation via the following steps:

  1. Reject the initial Demurrage Cost Allocation invoice

  2. Click on the Allocation function in the Laytime Calculation

  3. Delete all cost allocations entries (screenshot below)
