It will pull in the voyage line item when a voyage is complete and has not been invoiced previously. Items are assigned the bill code "VFEUE.” Voyages must be complete before FuelEU expense items can be invoiced.

Trading
Link a carbon allowance sale to a purchase and include it as an allocation NEW FEATURE
This is an additional solution and requires a separate license. You must have the General Trading Module Right selected. Access to other forms and actions also requires specific Module Rights. Your configuration might differ from the information shown. Requires user permissions to enter Carbon Allowance Trades.
You can now link a Carbon Allowance Sell Trade to one or more matching Buy Trades so the available inventory of specific trades can be updated correctly. This feature uses the existing Allocation tabs in the Carbon Allowance trade, where you can select the buy/sell trade you want to link to and then choose the quantity to link. As with transfers, you cannot allocate a greater quantity from the buy than is available at that time. Linking the sell trade to the buy updates the available quantity of the trade so it can be correctly linked to other trades or contracts in the system. The exposure for the buy trade updates to reflect the remaining trade quantity.
