   2. Enter a Code, Description, Class, and CP Unit.

Creating Super Groups and Subgroups

You can create a top-level layer in the Cargo hierarchy, a Super Group, that encompasses one or more existing Cargo Groups for use with multigrade configurations. This facilitates the selection of grades from any group within a Super Group when the Super Group is used at the CP level in the Voyage Estimate, Voyage Fixture, or Voyage Manager. Follow these steps:

1. On the Cargo Groups form, add a new row to the grid and name the Super Group (in the Group column).
2. Right-click the row and then click Subgroups.
   
3. On the Cargo Subgroups form, add rows and select the existing groups to be part of the Super Group. A Cargo Group can belong to multiple Super Groups.
4. On the Voyage Estimate, Voyage Fixture, or Voyage Manager, if you select a Super Group at the CP-level Cargo Group, you can then select any grade belonging to any of the groups that are part of the Super Group. Stowage factors will continue to default basis the grade selection.
