How does Advanced Pricing rules in VC In COA and Cargo contract impact demurrage/despatch rates?

There are several options within the VC In COA and Cargo contract that determine the demurrage/despatch rate for a Cargo contract.

These options are:

Below is a matrix for the permutations/combinations of the checkboxes:

S/N	VC In COA checkboxes		Cargo Contract checkboxes		Cargo Contract takes demurrage /despatch rates from:	Able to manually edit demurrage /despatch rates in Cargo Contract?
S/N	(1) Advanced	(2) Advanced Pricing Overrides ‘Demurrage/Despatch’	(3) Use Pricing from COA	(4) Advanced
1	Checked	Checked	Checked	Checked	VC In COA	No
2	Checked	Checked	Not checked	Not checked	Cargo contract; user must key in manually	Yes
3	Checked	Checked	Not checked	Checked	Cargo contract; user must key in manually	Yes
4	Checked	Checked	Checked	Not checked	Scenario does not exist, as checked ‘Use Pricing from COA’ will auto-check ‘Advanced’	-
5	Checked	Not checked	Checked	Checked	Cargo contract (populated from Advanced Pricing rule)	No
6	Checked	Not checked	Not checked	Checked	Cargo contract (populated from Advanced Pricing rule)	Yes
7	Checked	Not checked	Not checked	Not checked	Cargo contract; user must key in manually	Yes
8	Checked	Not checked	Checked	Not checked	Scenario does not exist, as checked ‘Use Pricing from COA’ will auto-check ‘Advanced’	-

From the above matrix, we can deduce that:

If Use Pricing from COA checkbox is checked in the cargo contract, the operator will not able to edit the demurrage/despatch rates manually in the cargo contract.
The VC In COA’s demurrage/despatch rates will override the rates in each cargo contract if the checkboxes (2) Advanced Pricing Overrides ‘Demurrage/Despatch’ and (3) Use Pricing from COA are checked.
