## Overview

In the [Service Order drawer](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.5/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/service-orders/maintain-service-order) under 'Handling Cost Allocation' tab, you now have these features available:

* Select which cargoes should be included in the proration of a handling cost service order line
* View an aggregated handling cost per commodity
* View the total port call handling cost
* Prorate the handling cost of a port call among the selected cargoes for each service order line 
* Decide if transshipment cargoes should be included in the handling cost proration

The Commodity Oveview sections are split into non-transshipment and transshipment. If no transshipment cargoes are allocated to any handling cost lines the bottom section will be removed.

## Edit Handling Cost Allocation

To edit which cargoes should be included in the proration, click the 'Edit Allocation' button on a line and a modal will open (click to open in full):

## Including or excluding transshipment cargoes

If there are no transshipment cargoes linked to the port call the **Include Transshipment** checkbox will be disabled. Hovering over the field will display a tooltip explaining why it is disabled.

Transshipment cargoes will not be visible in the **Edit Handling Cost** modal if the **Include Transshipments** checkbox is unchecked. Only if the checkbox is checked will any transshipment cargoes be visible for selection.

Unchecking the checkbox will display a warning modal because any allocated transshipment cargo will be unallocated if **confirm** is pressed and the handling costs will be recalculated.
