IMOS - Journal Template

If you regularly need to create similar Journal Entry, you can use templates to simplify the process.

Non-Voyage Journals

They should be created without a reference to a vessel name or voyage number. Otherwise they will result in an uncategorized adjustment and invariance on P&L which will lead to accrual of the same amount in every month for that voyage.
Non-Voyage Journals are intended to only be used with Balance Sheet transactions, and should not touch P&L based accounts.
