Bug EN-49900

Journals VIP & IMOS

A new P&L Calculation option has been created called "Apply Carbon Expense to Period". When enabled this will look at the actualized emissions recorded on the voyage based on the bunker consumption details actualized on the voyage and accrue based on that information instead of prorating across the voyage. When enabled along with the Capitalize / Amortize Costs Prior to the Performing Period flag profile flag on the accruals form then the emissions during the N-L window of the voyage will be capitalized and then amortized over the performing (L-D) period of the voyage. Requires business rules to be created to support the new expense type.
