To enter information about cargo on the Cargo Handling form:

Do one of the following:

    - Green = both Transshipment and Interservice
On this form, enter the BL Code, BL/Disch Date, and BL/Disch Qty.
The CP Unit is from the Charter Party, but you can specify an alternate Unit and BL Gross on the Alt Unit tab.
Cargo Inspector: Enabling Address Type I
The Cargo Inspector can be selected from a list of Address entries of Type I. To enable this Address Type, run the following script on your IMOS database:
— begin script —
INSERT INTO type (_sqlid, vtype, vdesc)
SELECT (SELECT MAX(_sqlid)+1 FROM type), 'I', 'Cargo inspector'
— end script —
As always when running database scripts, do so first on a backup of your production database to ensure the correct results. After doing this, you can create an Address entry with type I, and it can be selected in the Cargo Inspector field.
Complete the remaining fields as appropriate.

CFGCargoLossControl	Adds a Cargo Loss tab to the Cargo Handling form. For FOB Cargoes, when a Reference Vessel is selected, the BL Qty label is a link to open a Cargo Handling form for the FOB Voyage.
CFGDefaultDischargeBLInfo	When a load Cargo Handling record is saved, if exactly one discharge Cargo Handling record exists for the cargo, the BL Code, BL Date, BL Qty, CP Unit, Ship Qty, and Ship Unit on the discharge port are set equal to that of the load port. If multiple discharges exist, only the BL Code is defaulted.
CFGEstimatePortDaysUsingBlQty	Once BL/Disch Qty has been entered in the Voyage Manager Itinerary, it will be used to calculate the time spent in port, instead of continuing to use the L/D Qty, which represents the CP Qty.
CFGEnableMTBETracking	On the Cargo Name form, adds check boxes for MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), FAME (fatty acid methyl esters), and ETBE (ethyl tert-butyl ether). For cargoes with one or more of these check boxes is selected, the Cargo Handling form includes columns to record a percentage value for each selected component.
