You can set calculation rules such that Marine Service Fees will be added automatically for each Cargo parcel on a voyage or Voyage Estimate.

In the Operations Ledger, create Source code MSFEE with Description MARINE SERVICES FEE and Exp Type Advance Rebillable Expense.
Specify port-to-port distances on the Agreed Distances form.
Set the Marine Service Fee calculation rules:
1. On the Marine Service Fees form, click Edit Row.
2. For each row, enter the conditions for the fee calculation. You can specify Effective Date, Vessel Type, Cargo Group Code, Agreed Distance, Metric Tons, and a formula to calculate the fee.
  - If you do not fill in the fields, they default to Anything.
  - If you do not specify the Agreed Distance or Metric Tons, the calculation will use the Agreed Distance specified on the Agreed Distances form and the Metric Tons specified for the Cargo in the voyage itinerary.
  - For example calculations, contact your Professional Services representative.
3. Click Save Row.
4. The calculated amounts are added to a voyage or Voyage Estimate when it is first saved. The fee is recalculated when a Cargo is added or modified.
  - For voyages, the Marine Service Fee expense appears on the Voyage Other Revenues and Expenses form.
  - For voyage Estimates, the Marine Service Fee expense appears on the Voyage Estimate Other Revenues and Expenses form, on the Other Expenses tab.

Hides the Port Expense field on some forms, enables standards for expenses, and adds a Port Expenses Details form and a Port Expenses Details button on the Port Expenses Summary to open it. When detail-level port expenses are being used, the PortExp column in the Voyage Manager Itinerary behaves the same as the PortExp column in the Voyage Estimate itinerary:

For a port with no detail-level port expenses, you can edit its PortExp amount in the Voyage Manager Itinerary Cargo Tab. The voyage P&L shows this amount as estimated expenses for that port.
For a port with a single detail-level expense, that amount appears and can be edited in the voyage itinerary PortExp field. An estimated expense entered before creating the detail-level expense is no longer displayed in the voyage P&L.
For a port with multiple detail-level expenses, the itinerary PortExp field shows the sum of the detail-level expenses for that port and cannot be edited.
When CFGVoyageExpenseAllocation is set to Y, a Voyage Expense Allocation section will be added to the Voyage Estimate Profit & Loss Report, and optionally to the Voyage Profit & Loss Report.

An ECA Factor field also appears on COA, Cargo/VC In, and CP Terms Details forms. When ECAFactor is used in an ECA Recovery Charge Results/Fee expression and an ECA Factor value is entered on a contract, an ECA Recovery Charge Extra Freight Term is generated on that contract.

When a COA is created from a Voyage Estimate, ECA Factor is copied from CP Terms to the COA.
When a COA Lifting is created, ECA Factor is copied from the COA to the Cargo.
When a cargo is scheduled, ECA Factor is copied from the cargo to the back-created Voyage Estimate.
