Introduction to Carbon Emission Business Rules
These business rules define how IMOS posts EU ETS, FuelEU, and UK ETS Maritime transactions to the General Ledger. Each row maps a transaction source and code combination to the accounts that should be debited and credited, so emissions costs flow through the Voyage P&L and into the GL consistently, regardless of which counterparty owns the obligation or how the cost is ultimately settled.
The rules cover the full lifecycle of an emissions charge. Uninvoiced entries accrue the expected cost against an expense account while the obligation is still open. Cash and allowance invoices recognize the cost once it is billed by the counterparty, with allowance invoices also booking a liability for the EUA volume owed. Transfer entries move allowances between the liability account and the ETS inventory (asset) account when they are surrendered or rebilled, and price-difference and exchange-rate-difference entries true up accruals when market prices or FX rates move between recognition and settlement.
The rules are organized by relationship: TCI (uninvoiced and invoiced by the TC In owner), Head Fixture, VC In, and the rebill paths to TCO charterers and cargo charterers. FuelEU follows the same pattern, with penalty accruals, pool journal entries that credit the pool account, and invoiced penalties recognized through the TC, freight, and relet invoice flows.
The OHCARBON, OHPENALTY, OHUKETS, and OHVFEUE codes are the offhire counterparts of CARBON, PENALTY, UKETS and VFEUE. They post to the same account types but keep offhire-period emissions costs identifiable in the ledger, so users can see how much of a voyage's EU ETS and FuelEU exposure was generated while the vessel was offhire.
Additional Notes Related to the Setup
-
The EMSx Sources in the tables below are for Month-end Accruals of the un-invoiced Emissions Expense / Emissions Expense (Rebill) line items on the Voyage P&L.
-
When running accrual by accounts (CFGVoyaccAccrualType = Act*), the EMSx:CARBON rule will drive the MACR rule. These rules require the MACR rules for each account associated to EMSx.
-
When accrual by ops (CFGVoyaccAccrualType = Ops) then rule will be MACR:CARBONEXPENSES for expenses and MACR:CARBONEXPENSESREBILL for expense rebills.
-
For Allowance Trading settlements, an additional set of Source Codes are utilized https://vesonjira.atlassian.net/wiki/x/OYCwF .
-
If CFGApplyAllowancePriceDiffToPnL is set to Y, TCCT: CARBDIFFERENCE, OVCT:CARBDIFFERENCE and VOCT: CARBDIFFERENCE business rules are also to be set up with an Expense account.
