Use Handling Cost from Service Orders

A checkbox used to manually decide whether to use 'Handling Cost Rate' from the Cargo Ports, or a calculated 'Handling Cost Rate' from Service Orders of the Port Calls.

Where to find

The 'Use Handling Cost from Service Orders' can be found in these places:

• Port Call drawer -> Overview tab (editable)

• Port Call drawer -> Service Order tab (editable)

• Service Order drawer -> Main Details tab (non-editable)

What is does

Let's look at the Cargo Port = Stavanger (L), which has the complimentary Port Call = Stavanger (L).

By default, this checkbox is set to false. It will at this state retrieve the value set in the 'Handling Cost Rate' field of the Stavanger Cargo Port, which you can set manually inside of the Edit Cargo Port modal:

Edit Cargo Port Modal

You can set it to true by following either one of the first two options listed within the "Where to find" section above. By setting it to this state, 'Handling Cost Rate' will be calculated based of the Stavanger Port Call's Service Order Line Amount considering the Cargo Port's 'Handling Cost Currency' and 'Handling Cost Measurement'

This Handling Cost Rate value is useful when, for instance, working with the Service Order's Handling Cost Allocation feature. Make sure you have the below "Requirements" first!

Requirements:

• a Cargo(es) with B/L Quantity, or Booked Quantity > 0

• a Cargo(es) with Weight Factor > 0

• a Cargo(es) with Handling Cost Rate > 0 on the Cargo Port(s)

Additional, if ticking the checkbox:

• a Service Order(s) with a Service Order Line(s) on the complimentary Port Call(s)

• this Service Order Line(s) needs to have

  • a Service of type 'Handling Cost'

  • an Amount (Estimated) > 0
