Synchronizing Events and Deductions

Describes how you can synchronize events and deductions for Relet & Spot cargo pair in laytime calculations

Starting with Release 8.7, it is now possible to synchronize events and deductions (not to counts) between a relet and the corresponding spot cargo, and vice versa. This reduces the manual effort needed when reletting 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, as well as the "not to count" 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 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.

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.
