| Change Vessel | Select this to change the vessel number. |
| Change Departure Date | Select this to change the date on which the vessel left its port of departure. See Change Departure Date. |
| Vessel | Enter the vessel number (e.g. the flight number) you want to add or maintain. |
| Landed Cost Vessel Details | These details are provided by supplier shipping the goods. |
| Vessel | This indicates the number of the vessel you are
currently maintaining. You can change this number after you have added the vessel using the Change Vessel function. See Coding considerations in Notes and warnings |
| Date of departure | This indicates the date when the vessel left its port
of departure. You can change this date using the Change Departure Date option after you have added the vessel. See Change Departure Date. |
| Vessel name | This indicates the name of the vessel. |
| Route | This indicates the route the vessel is taking (i.e the
route by which the shipment is arriving). The route code is
validated. See LCT Route Maintenance. See Restrictions and limits in Notes and warnings |
| Estimated date of arrival | This indicates the date on which the vessel is destined
to arrive. The default date is determined by adding the ETA (determined from the route code file) to the date of departure of the vessel. If you selected the option: Update due date on purchase order line when vessel arrival date updated (Purchase Orders Setup - LCT tab) then all purchase orders for the shipment will have the due date changed on each order line when you change the date of arrival for an existing vessel. The date is changed according to the following calculation: Due date = Estimated date of arrival + Number of days for demurrage + Number of days after demurrage Non-working days are not taken from the company calendar and applied in LCT so the lead time entered here is in absolute days. |
| Actual date of arrival | This indicates the date on which the vessel actually
arrived at its destination. If you selected the option: Update due date on purchase order line when vessel arrival date updated (Purchase Orders Setup - LCT tab) then all purchase orders for the shipment will have the due date changed on each order line when you change the date of arrival for an existing vessel. The date is changed according to the following calculation: Due date = Actual date of arrival + Number of days for demurrage + Number of days after demurrage. |
| Place of shipment | This indicates the port of origin of the vessel. |
| Place of destination | This indicates the port of destination of the vessel. |

-
The key to the vessel file is both the Vessel number and the Date of departure. However, dates cannot be entered on the toolbar.
When you select New to maintain an existing vessel and you have multiple dates of departure for a single vessel, you enter the vessel number and tab off the Vessel field. You then enter the Date of departure of the vessel to display the details of the vessel and departure date combination you require.
If you only enter the vessel number and press Tab, then the program assumes you are adding a new entry for the vessel with today's date.
-
You cannot change the Route code after you have added a new vessel irrespective of whether shipments have been assigned to it.
The reason is that changing the route on a shipment affects the due date of the purchase order lines as well as any commitment budgets that might be associated with the consignment.
