12-3-2021

Added a new P&L Calc Option called “Capitalize and Amortize Costs Prior to Performing Period” to the Monthly Accruals form which will allow capitalization and amortization of costs incurred as a result of fulfilling a contract prior to the performing period of the contract, and after the nomination date.

When selected, the costs incurred between the Nomination Date and the Start of the First Load port will be capitalized and then amortized over the performing period as defined by the Start of First Load to the end of Last Discharge on the voyage. The amortization will happen as a percentage of the performing period completed on the accrual date. Costs incurred during the performing period will not be affected by this option.

This option will be selected by default when CFGDefaultPnLCalcCapAmortContractFulfillmentCosts is enabled. It requires additional business rules to be added to account for the journals generated from this logic using the following prefixes: "CAP", "AM", "EXP" and "CM" for capitalized costs, amortized costs, costs expensed to the period and all other journals respectively.

k8snextrelease, k8s-1-6-2022

* Load time of the Voyage and Cargo Views in the Ops Hub has been improved.
* Previously, when there were unpublished changes to a cargo, the corresponding card in the Ops Hub Cargo Views would display a badge with the number of fields whose current value differed from the value in the last published update. Now, a badge will display with the relative time of the last published update (for example, "two days ago"). Hovering the mouse over the badge will show a tooltip with the full timestamp.
* Previously, publishing the latest version of a cargo would sometimes not clear the unpublished updates badge in the Cargo Views. Now, the badge should no longer display when the latest version of the cargo has been published.
