Home > Chartering > VC In Booking
The VC In Booking form enables you to match a VC In Booking with a VC In COA contract.
To open it, do one of the following:
- On the Chartering menu
, under Cargo, click Multiple VC In Booking. - On the Calculation tab of the Laytime Calculation or Booking-Based Laytime Calculation form, if a booking number has been assigned to a VC In, you can right-click its itinerary line and then click View Booking Details.
- When a VC In associated with a VC In Booking is linked to a Cargo contract on a RELT voyage, the booking becomes locked from editing.
Enabling VC In Booking also adds:
- An Extra Freight Term: Lumpsum per booking (code LB). When included on multiple VC Ins that are part of the same booking, it only applies to the VC In with the lowest ID in that booking to which it has been added for both P&L and Freight Invoice. If that VC In is removed from the booking, the Extra Freight Term will be applied to the new lowest ID in the booking. The Extra Freight Term will remain visible on any contracts to which it is added, but it will only be invoiced once per booking and will only appear on the Voyage P&L once per booking.
- A Booking No. field to nonincremental Freight Invoices; after a Counterparty is selected, you can select one booking of that Counterparty on the voyage, so that only those VC Ins are included on the invoice.
Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : No link could be created for 'VIP - Cargo Booking'.
VC Ins Grid
The VC Ins grid shows all cargoes and voyages associated with the booking.
To sort the grid by column values, click column headers.
To see additional information about a row, right-click it and then click one of the following:
Ports Grid
The Ports grid displays the port ETAs and ETDs from the port calls and voyages that are tied to the booking. These fields will only populate when there is a voyage, and they cannot be edited. Only ports that appear on the Cargoes grid will appear here, so transshipment ports will not be displayed.
Vessels Grid
The Vessels grid offers a quick overview of all of the vessels involved in a particular booking, their current Vetting Status, and quick reference information that enable you to have efficient conversations about operating voyages with your counterparties.
You can manage vetting Tasks for a listed vessel by clicking its Create Task or Edit Task link.
Adding VC Ins to a Booking
To add VC Ins to a booking, do any of the following:
- Add new rows to the VC In Booking grid and enter relevant VC In details.
- On the VC In List, select one or more VC Ins and then click one of the following at the top of the list:
- Add to Booking: Search for and select an existing booking.
- Create Booking: Create a new booking.
Note: You must have Read and Write access to VC Ins in the VC In List.
If there are multiple load or discharge ports in a contract, Load Port, Load Berth, Disc Port, and Disc Berth appear highlighted in pink and cannot be changed.

Charterer View
CFGChartererView | Uses the Charterer's view instead of the standard Cargo form.

If the Counterparty is an Owner, the Opr Type is SPOT, otherwise it is TCOV or OVOV depending on the Ownership field on the vessel. Opr Type can be changed, and if the selected type is incompatible with the Cargo counterparty, the Counterparty column in the Voyage Manager Cargoes grid is cleared. All noncoload Cargoes in a voyage synchronize to have the same CP Date and CP Terms Details form. A Supplier/Rcvr column appears on the Cargo Booking and VC In Booking forms.
