How can I make the Worldscale Differentials reflect on the voyage?

It has been noticed that sometimes, even when the Worldscale differentials have been entered upon fixing, the same doesn't reflect on the voyage PnL.


In the Estimate, when the Worldscale Differentials are entered, the Freight in the PnL will change.

Now, when the Estimate is fixed and a voyage is created, the Freight in the “estimated” column, might not reflect the same amount as in the estimate.

This is due to the setting on the configuration flag: CFGInitialSnapshotTimeSelect.

When set to "schedule", a snapshot of the Voyage PNL will be taken when the voyage is scheduled, and this snapshot will be used as the basis estimate for PNL analysis. Alternatively, if set to "commence", this basis estimate snapshot will be taken when the voyage is commenced.

So the value has to be changed to “commence”, save and refresh.

Following that, open the estimate and create the voyage again from scratch.
Once it's created, expand the PnL, and the "estimated” column reflects the same value.

To make the differentials reflect on the “Actual” column, they will either have to be added as a Misc. Rev/Exp. and included on the Freight Invoice or as an adjustment on the invoice.
