Each form includes a Status:

A message at the top:
-
If the form has an error, a message explaining the error appears, so it can be fixed.

If the form is not the most recent version, a message appears, so the latest version can be requested/sent. The form can still be approved.
-
When you approved a voyage report form (such as a Departure Notice), IMOS adds the form’s data to any values already entered manually in the Voyage Itinerary. IMOS does not overwrite existing manual entries. The only exception is estimated values, which appear in blue in the itinerary and are replaced when the form is approved.
You can reject forms with a status of Approved or Open for Resubmit, such as, correcting a form that was approved in error. Rejecting a previously approved form does not automatically reverse any changes it made to the Voyage; you must correct those changes manually.
