# Allocating Voyages to a Derivative Line Connecting voyages to a derivative line records which operational voyages are covered by that settlement period. One line can be linked to multiple voyages. > **Current limitation:** Voyage allocation is informational only in this release. The derivative is not factored into voyage P\&L calculations. #### Allocating Voyages 1. Open the derivative drawer. 2. Locate the Derivative Line to allocate voyages to. 3. Click **Add Voyages**. 4. Use the multi-select to search for and select voyages. 5. Confirm. The selected voyages appear listed under the line. #### Removing a Voyage Allocation Open the derivative line's voyage list and use the remove action next to the voyage. Removing the link does not affect the voyage itself. #### Behaviour When Copying a Voyage Copying a voyage in VMS does **not** copy any derivative line allocations to the new voyage. Each allocation must be managed explicitly. Deleting a voyage does not delete its derivative — only the link is removed. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
