Accruals are generated based on already available data in Dataloy VMS. They are used for proration of cost and revenue for an accounting period and for period-end-closing, i.e. matching cost and revenue to the accounting period in which they were earned/incurred rather than when payment was received/made.
On the Finance Accruals module, the Generate button is located on top of the top left corner of the table with the accruals.
Once generated, the module displays the accruals (as per set parameters) pending posting to an accounting system. Accruals will only be generated for open voyages. Each will have a document date equalising the last day of the period the accruals were generated for. A reversal record for each accrual with a document date equal to the first day of the next period is also listed.
When clicking the Generate button in the top left corner, a modal will appear where you can select month/year, company, business unit, vessel and voyage fields as well as check off boxes for Write All, Keep Estimates and Create Voyage Snapshot to generate bunker stock adjustments.
Fill in the required fields and optional fields if desired. For business unit and company it is possible to select multiple. Then click confirm to generate accruals with the corresponding parameters.
Required fields:
Month
Company OR Business Unit
Optional fields:
Company OR Business Unit(if the other is already selected)
