Configuration flag CFGUseVoyestVoyageDeviation enables the Deviation Estimate functionality.
With a Deviation Estimate, you can create a snapshot Voyage Estimate and evaluate how changes to a voyage itinerary affect the P&L. A Deviation Estimate cannot be fixed.
Creating a Deviation Estimate
On the Voyage Manager toolbar, click 
and then click Create New.
A snapshot of the Voyage P&L is taken, and a Voyage Estimate appears with all voyage information populated. A Deviation Estimate is indicated by a highlighted Estimate ID field, with a tooltip in Details view showing the linked vessel/voyage and the snapshot date and time.
- The initial version of the Deviation Estimate is saved, and the P&L Summary fields are uneditable and populated with values calculated by the following formula:
P&L snapshot + (P&L of the current Estimate - P&L of the initial Deviation Estimate related to the snapshot) - The snapshot can be accessed from the P&L tab of Voyage Manager.
- Any Bareboat costs (hire and misc costs) for the Estimate's period are translated to an average Daily Rate and added to the vessel's Daily Cost.
- XADDCOMM applies to total vessel expenses, including Bareboat, even if XADDCOMM is not in the Bareboat contract.
- To open a Deviation Estimate, click and then click Open Existing.
- You can also open a set of Deviation Estimates that are based on the same voyage snapshot.
Importing Cargoes from a Deviation Estimate to a Voyage
From a Deviation Estimate, you can create Cargoes and link them to the voyage.
- Open the voyage and create a Deviation Estimate.
- In the Deviation Estimate, add one or more Cargoes.
- On the Deviation Estimate menu
, click Add Deviation Cargoes to Voyage.
The Cargoes are added to the voyage, with their load and discharge ports included at the end of the itinerary.
