# Synchronizing Events and Deductions Starting with Release 8.7, it is now possible to synchronize [events](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/laytime-calculations/maintain-laytime-calculation/manage-cargo-ports/statement-of-facts) and deductions[ (not to counts) ](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/laytime-calculations/maintain-laytime-calculation/manage-cargo-ports/timesheet)between a relet and the corresponding spot cargo, and vice versa. This reduces the manual effort needed when [reletting a cargo](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/cargoes/maintain-cargoes/cargo-drawer-actions/relet-cargoes#relet-a-cargo) since you no longer have to copy the events and deductions manually. ## How It Works When synchronizing the relet or spot cargo, all[ laytime events](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/laytime-calculations/maintain-laytime-calculation/manage-cargo-ports/statement-of-facts), as well as the ["not to count"](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/laytime-calculations/maintain-laytime-calculation/manage-cargo-ports/timesheet) events, will be copied from the corresponding cargo. For example, if you synchronize a spot cargo with a relet cargo, all events from the relet cargo will be copied to the spot. Figure 1-3 illustrates this process.

## Synchronizing Events and Deductions To synchronize a relet with its corresponding spot cargo, follow these steps: 1. Open the [Related ](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.7/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/voyages/maintain-voyages/related)tab in the Voyage Drawer. 2. Expand the Laytime Calculations to access the Cargo Port Panel List. 3. In the Cargo Port Panel List, a *Synchronize Events and Deductions* button will be available for all relet and corresponding spot cargo ports. To make it easier to identify which cargoes are relet and connected to a spot cargo, a **chip** has been added to the section header. See the figures below. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Relet Cargo" %}

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %} **NOTE:** When copying synchronizing the events and deductions, existing events and deductions ***will be overwritten***! To prevent accidental overwrites, a confirmation modal will appear with a brief explanation. You must confirm your choice before synchronization. See Figure 6.

## Deletion of Cargo Deleting either the relet or its connected spot cargo does not affect the other. Synchronization only occurs when you manually click the button and confirm the action.
