The following workflows and features support compliance with the following regulations:

IFRS 15

IFRS 15 (or ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, affects the allocation and recognition of revenue. Under this regulation, the voyage operating entity is only allowed to recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation of performing the voyage. Voyage expenses continue to be allowed to be capitalized and recognized on the same basis as revenue, following a revenue-expense matching principle.

Effective Date: IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Recognize Voyage Revenue Basis Load-to-Discharge or Delivery-to-Redelivery

Note: The following features require IMOS v7.11.5794 or later. Adjust Portion for Ballast Days does not appear in the legacy Report Editor.

For some clients and their auditors, IFRS 15 is interpreted that the voyage operating entity is not allowed to recognize revenue during the positioning of the ship into the load port. Instead of the discharge-to-discharge or redelivery-to-redelivery (or voyage completion percentage) recognition, the entity is expected to recognize basis load-to-discharge or delivery-to-redelivery.

When running Monthly Accruals or Voyage Period Journals, select P&L calculation option Adjust Portion for Ballast Days. Load-to-discharge or delivery-to-redelivery is used as P&L recognition basis when the check box is selected, otherwise, the full voyage duration is used as the basis. Voyage revenues and expenses will be allocated within the L/D period (for voyage charters) or Y/Z period (for TC Out voyages). Note that this does not have any impact on revenues/expenses that are applied to period; these will still be allocated to the period in which they were incurred. The change impacts any revenues and expenses that are prorated only.

To select Adjust Portion for Ballast Days by default, enable configuration flag CFGDefaultPnlCalcAdjustForBallastDays.

Recognize Demurrage Basis Demurrage Days

Note: The following features require IMOS v7.11.3793 or later.

Under IFRS 15, demurrage must be recognized as a variable consideration. Under this regulation, future (estimated) demurrage cannot be accrued or deferred to future periods after the vessel has gone on demurrage. Demurrage must be allocated to the period in which it is realized.

When running Monthly Accruals or Voyage Period Journals, select the P&L calculation option Apply Demurrage to Period. The behavior of this check box depends on the following configuration flags:

CFGDefaultPnlCalcApplyDemurrage: There are three possible values:
- PRORATE (default): Demurrage is prorated based on voyage proration logic: Voyage Days in Period / Total Voyage Days. The Apply Demurrage to Period check box is cleared by default; if the check box is selected, the calculation logic for BYDAYS is applied.
- FULL: The Apply Demurrage to Period check box is selected by default, and 100% of a demurrage amount is applied to the P&L reporting period.
- BYDAYS: The Apply Demurrage to Period check box is selected by default, and the amount of demurrage in the P&L reporting period is prorated. The prorata portion is calculated by the following logic: For each port call, Prorated Demurrage Amount = (Number of Days at Port within Period / Total Number of Days in Port in Voyage) × Demurrage Amount.
CFGDefaultPnlCalcAdjustForDemurrageDays: When enabled, the portion percentage for other P&L items are adjusted based on the demurrage days in the period.

To quickly view demurrage period allocation details for a Laytime Calculation, open the Period Allocation form (configuration flag CFGLaytimeEnablePeriodAllocation must be enabled).

IFRS 16

Note: The following features require IMOS v7.11.7333 or later, and configuration flag CFGEnableTCLeaseAccounting must be enabled.

Under IFRS 16 (or ASC 842), Leases, Time Charter contracts are categorized as leases. For leases of more than 12 months, IFRS 16 requires companies to recognize the total value (service cost, interest, and depreciation) of the leased asset (vessel) on the balance sheet of their books.

Effective Date: IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted (as long as IFRS 15 is also applied). Configuration Flag CFGTCDefaultLeaseTransitionDate must be defined, in the format: yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm (for example, 2019-01-01T00:00).

Lease Accounting Business Rules

With the help of a Veson Nautical consultant, set up Business Rules for the following journal types.

Time Charter Period Journals

To transfer lease costs to your balance sheet, you can create Time Charter Period Journals. Each Time Charter Period Journal has the following line items, either initial or incremental:

Source Code	Bill Code	Description
MLAJ	LIABILITY	Initial: A Credit entry of the journal; posted into a Liability-type ledger account. Incremental: The value of change in Lease Liability as compared to initial journal.
	ROU_ASSET	Initial: A Debit entry of the journal; posted into an Asset-type ledger account. Incremental: The value of change in Right of Use Asset as compared to initial journal.
	BSDIFF	Initial: A Debit entry of the journal; posted into a Retained Earning or Gain/Loss type ledger account. Incremental: The value of change in BSDIFF, which should be zero.
	ACCDEP	Initial: A Credit entry of the journal; posted into a Contra-Asset type ledger account. Incremental: The value of change in Accumulated Depreciation, which should be zero.
	ROU_REVERSAL	Reverses the previous period's ROU that was posted, regardless of whether or not there was a lease modification in the previous period.

Lease Cost Journals

When you create Voyage Period Journals, lease line items are included:

Source Code	Bill Code	Description
LCST	COHAD_REVERSAL	A reversal of the Address Commission for Off Hire Amount.
	COMAD_REVERSAL	A reversal of the TC Address Commission Amount.
	OFFHI_REVERSAL	A reversal of the Running Cost Off Hire Amount.
	TCHIR_REVERSAL	A reversal of the Running Cost Hire Amount.
	LEASE_SERVICE	The value of the lease Service component.
	LEASE INTEREST	The value of the lease interest expenses.
	LEASE_DEPRECIATION	The value of the lease depreciation.

Time Charter Lease Tab

On the TC In or TC Out Lease tab, you can set up lease accounting for the contract.

Lease Costs on the Voyage P&L

On the Voyage P&L, Lease Costs appear in a separate section with the following line items:

Hire Reversal: Reverses running cost hire line items, with Hire Reversal, Hire Add Comm Reversal, Off Hire Reversal, and Off Hire Add Comm Reversal subsections.
Service: Based on the Service Fee column on the TC Lease tab.
Interest: Based on the Interest Rate % column on the TC Lease tab.
Depreciation: The asset depreciation expense over time.

Lease Reporting

To report on leases, in the Report Designer, create a report that includes the Time Charter > Time Charter Lease and/or Time Charter Lease Service Schedule tables.
