Key features:  This app provides the following key features:  Trip object The trip object allows you to manage the status for demurrage and allows the end to end demurrage tracking across nominations, TD shipments , outbound delivery.   Integration of reference documents You can link several reference document items to a trip item and copy the data to reduce manual intervention   Capture of laytime terms from a contract or order and allowing direct entry of events in the trip Instead of restricting the laytime calculation to a nomination alone, you can calculate the laytime at the level of a trip item. This allows the extension of laytime calculation to TSW, TD and SD modules as well as various modes of transport.    Integration of demurrage calculation framework through schedule of charges with SD and MM The charges can be setup in the app as a receivable or a payable and is integrated accordingly with SD and MM pricing and document flow.   Integration with workflow scenarios to enable set up of workflows using the Manage Workflows application. The status of the Trip Item is managed based on the outcome of the configured workflow. Only approved Trip Item charges aree settled. This integration allows more control over the process of settling charges.   Trip object allows you to add single or multiple attachments even in draft mode. You can use the Attachment Services feature to rename the added attachments, delete and download the attachments with the required authorization.    Integration of Accrual processOnce the demurrage amount is calculated in the system ,negotiation starts for settlement of demurrage amount. During the negotiation phase, accruals will be done for the amount calculated as demurrage. The process is integrated with the standard accrual engine. An accrual object is created based on the trip header and item number. The accrual process begins based on the predefined set of rules for the accrual object. To trigger the accrual process manually, you can go to the trip item having demurrage amount and initiate the process. You can choose Manage Accruals on the trip header to open a visually harmonized transaction that displays the accruals created for the trip items. Once trip object is settled, the accrual process also ends. A claims object OIT01_CLAIM is provided to capture the demurrage claims and correspondence. You can create a combination of date and time from a flexible set of absolute and relative dates and datetime ranges. The date, time, and date range filter options are displayed in the timestamp fields.
