Home > Operations FAQs > Why does voyage bunker consumption not appear in the Voyage P&L?
When you have valid bunker consumption (usually pertaining to newly added bunkers) and are not seeing the bunkers being reported as an Expense in your Voyage P&L, one of the following scenarios is possible:
-
Bunker inventory price is zero because no price entered for lifting or initial bunkers on latest or previous voyages.
-
Business Rules are missing: VBNK - VCXXX (*XXX = Fuel type code)
-
Mapped chart of accounts for the above Business Rules are not of Expense type
To troubleshoot this issue, do the following:
Check Bunker Inventory Prices
-
On the Voyage Manager toolbar, click Bunkers and then click Bunker Liftings.
-
On the Bunker Liftings toolbar, click Bunker Details to run the bunker details report.
-
Examine the bunker report. If the price of the missing bunker type expense is blank, this means that a price has not been entered for the initial bunkers or the bunker lifting. Once the missing price is entered, the issue should be resolved.
Check Business Rules & Chart of Accounts
-
In the Financials module, open the Business Rules form.
-
On the Business Rules form, check that the Source VBNK and corresponding VCXXX (*XXX representing fuel code) exist.
-
If the Business Rule does not exist, add it.
-
-
Make sure that the account category is Expense.
-
If the linked account category is not Expense, link it to the correct expense account or change the account to Expense type on the Chart of Accounts form.
