IMOS - Pricing Tab - Cargo

The Veson IMOS Platform is the market-leading cloud solution for commercial marine freight and fleet management.

On the Cargo Pricing tab, for a Cargo created from a COA, the information is inherited from the COA when the Cargo is created but can be edited later. If you are not contractually bound to use all the terms from the COA, or to prevent Cargoes from past voyages from changing their prices when the price is changed on the linked COA, you can clear the Use Pricing from COA check box and make adjustments.

This tab is similar to the COA Pricing tab.

Pricing Grid

To adjust pricing, do any of the following:

• Add one row for each possible combination of Load Port(s), Discharge Port(s), and Cargo. Multiple load and discharge ports can be manually entered per row; the order of the ports is relevant to picking the correct row.

• To use Advanced Pricing to create configurable rules for pricing contracts, select the Advanced check box.

• To enable Top-off, select a type of top-off:

  • Regular: Cargo loaded at multiple ports with varied rates, offloaded at one discharge port

  • Reverse: Cargo loaded at one port, discharged at multiple ports

  Note: The Veson IMOS Platform does not support Top-off or Reverse Top-off in connection with Interservice Cargoes.

• To enter a VAT No. and VAT % specific to a row, right-click the row and then click VAT; otherwise, the default entered above is used.

• In the Freight Type (Frt Type) column, select Flat Rate, Lumpsum, Daily Rate, or one of the following:

  • Index Table: Uses an Index Table to price your freight based on Index values. The index table is not an available option for the freight type if configuration flag CFGEnableGeneralUnpricedComponent is enabled.

  • Scale Table: Uses a Scale (Rate) Table, defined in the Data Center; select the table in the Table column.

  • Worldscale: Uses Worldscale; WSC% is in the Amount column; the WSC Flat rate is determined per Cargo, according to its itinerary.

• To specify CP Quantity and CP Draft by port and vessel to calculate deadfreight, click 

  

  .

• To automatically add pricing rows when Freight Type is set to Use Price Matrix, click 

  

  . Pricing rows are populated for any unique pair of Load and Discharge options that do not already exist.
