This field has the Auto-Complete feature, which helps you to populate the relevant Make/Model from the selected Contract as you type.

Basis

Drop-down list to select the basis for calculation. Following are the available options while adding a record:

• LM - Lane Meter

• MA - Actual measure basis

• PB - Per Bill

• WA - Actual weight basis

• PT - Percentage basis

• PU - Per Unit basis

• RT - Revenue Ton

• WS - Wt Actual (Short ton)

Notes:

• The drop-down list values are defined in the Code Definition (ADCMW02) screen (domain= BKG_BASCODE, for development usage only, by PCC.NET Administrative users).
• While viewing Revenue, Basis description is displayed as a tooltip when you hover over the selected Basis code.

Rated At

Freighted quantity/value. Read-only except for the Contractual/Supplementary charges where Basis is PT/RT.

• In case of the basis PT, during Booking creation from Contract, PCC.NET retrieves the default dependent applicable charges from the Contract. PCC.NET checks if at least one applicable charge is available in the Contract, calculates, and populates the amount in the Booking for a given port-pair combination. The calculation is done based on the Rated At value of the corresponding Charge as the sum of a percentage of the Applicable Charges associated with it. Applicable charge(s) having same Make/Model as the PT basis charge, as selected in the corresponding Contract against that charge are populated. You (Booking user) can add supplementary dependent applicable charges against a PT basis charge and de-select the dependent applicable Contractual charges from this screen.

Notes:

• Dependent charges for the PT charge are populated from the Contract only during Booking creation from the Contract and adding a new cargo from the Contract. Afterwards, during Refresh rate from Contract, the dependent changes are not modified in the Booking if the dependent charge gets changed in new revision of the Contract; only the newly-updated rate from the latest revision of the corresponding Contract are retrieved.

• More concepts on Applicable Charges for PT basis.More concepts on Applicable Charges for PT basis.

  1. In the Revenue Details panel, select the Charge, Maker/Model, Basis (as PT) and Currency.
  2. Click in the Rated At field . The Applicable Charges in ContractApplicable Charges in Contract dialog box appears.

     

  • By clicking adjacent to the Rated At column, you can view/select the other charges as the applicable charges of the current Booking revenue on which percentage (PT) basis will be applied in the Applicable Charges in Contract dialog box. In case of Contractual PT Basis charges, PCC.NET displays the Contract-specific applicable charges for that PT basis charge from latest revision of Contract against the same Make/Model as that of the PT basis charge in the Header of the dialog box.
  • If a charge with Basis as Percentage (PT) exists in a Contract, while creating Booking from that Contract, a revenue record is created for that charge with selected dependent applicable charges and Rate value as percentage mentioned in the Contract.
  • Initially, the Rated At value field remains as zero since cargo units are not available, once cargo units become available it gets auto calculated based on the cargo units and dependent applicable charges.
  • PCC.NET calculates the Rated At value based on the selected dependent/applicable charges. In this case, you are allowed to adjust the Rated At value to any desired value. PCC.NET considers values up to 4 digits after decimal point and also will round off Rated At value up to 4 digits after decimal point. PCC.NET shows the saved values up to 4 digits after decimal point.
  • While saving the Booking, PCC.NET validates whether you have selected applicable charge(s) for the PT basis charge or not.

  3. Click OK after updating/selecting the check box against the corresponding Charge(s) displayed in the dialog box.

• In case of the basis RT, this value remains Read-only till the UM value is also set to RT. When UM value is also set to RT, Rated At becomes editable so that you can adjust its value as desired. PCC.NET allows to enter values and rounds off Rated At value up to 4 digits after decimal point. It also shows the saved values up to 4 digits after decimal point. More on charge with Basis as Revenue Ton (RT) More on charge with Basis as Revenue Ton (RT)

  • If a charge with basis as Revenue Ton (RT) exists in a Contract, while creating a revenue record against it, PCC.NET determines the greater value between Freight Measure (M3) and Freight Weight (KG)/1000 (rounding off up to three decimal points).

  • If Freight Weight (KG)/1000 (rounding off up to three decimal points) is more than Freight Measure, PCC.NET assigns the Freight Weight/1000 (rounding off up to three decimal points) in Rated At field and default UM is KT, so Per also becomes KT. In this case, UM can have two values - KT and RT, so you can choose either of them. According to your choice, PCC.NET auto-updates Per to KT if UM is KT and per to RT’ if UM is RT.

  • If Freight Measure is more than Freight Weight (KG)/1000, PCC.NET assigns the Freight Measure in Rated At field and default UM will be M3, so Per becomes M3. In this case UM can have two values - M3 and RT, so you can choose either of them. According to your choice, PCC.NET will auto-change Per to M3 if UM is M3 and to RT if UM is RT.

  • If Freight Measure equals to Freight Weight (KG)/1000, PCC.NET assigns the Freight Measure in Rated At field and default UM will be RT, so Per becomes RT. In this case UM can have three values - RT, M3 and KT, so you can choose any of them. According to your choice, PCC.NET auto-update Per to M3 if UM is M3; to KT if UM is KT and to RT if UM is RT.

  • If Basis is RT and UM is RT, the Rated At becomes independent of change of Cargo value and gets enabled so that you can edit the Rated At value manually.

  • If Cargo information is changed, Rated At is also re-calculated as per the above specifications.

• If a charge with basis as Short Ton (WS) exists in a Contract, while creating a revenue record against it, PCC.NET assigns the Freight Weight/1000 multiplied by (1000 / 907.18474) in Rated At field and default UM is ST, so ‘Per’ also become ST. That is, Rated At (Short Ton) = (Freight Weight (KG)/1000) * (1000 / 907.18474).

Rated At value is rounded off up to 3 decimal points and displayed up to 4 decimal points.

For example: (value=123.55555 is displayed as 123.5560, and value=123.5544 is displayed as 123.5540).

• If a charge with basis as Lane Meter (LM) exists in a Contract, while creating a revenue record against it, PCC.NET assigns the Length of the Unit/100 multiplied by (Number of Units) in Rated At field and default UM will be ‘ME’, so ‘Per’ also becomes ‘ME’. i.e. Rated At (Lane Meter) = (Length of the unit (cm)/100) * (Number of units).

Rated At value is rounded off up to 4 decimal points and is displayed up to 4 decimal points.

For example: (value=123.55555 is displayed as 123.5556, value=123.55554 is displayed as 123.5555 and value=123.554 displayed as 123.5540)

ExampleExample

Rated At is calculated based on the Basis value as mentioned below:

During entering Supplementary Charge in Booking, if the charge is entered without associating it with any Make/Model and Basis is selected as Weight Actual (WA)/Measure Actual (MA), PCC.NET considers the sum of Freight Weights/Freight Measure of all Make/Models present within the Booking as the default value of Rated At corresponding to that charge. In case of Basis PT/RT, PCC.NET allows you to modify the default value of Rated At, too.

UM

Drop-down list to select the unit of measure for Rated At.

Rate

Charge rate applicable on the Rated At value. PCC.NET multiplies it with Rated At to get the Amount for this charge.

For the charges retrieved in Booking from the Contract, a Search icon appears adjacent to this field. The Rate SelectionRate Selection pop-up appears with all the available Rates against the existing Make/Model, Charge and Basis combination from the latest revision of the Contract. You can select any of the available Rates from the pop-up. On selection of a Rate from the pop-up, the corresponding Currency and Rate gets added to the Revenue. This pop-up is not available for the charges which were added locally in Booking (not present in Contract); you need to enter values in the Rate text box directly.

For Generic Model cargoes, you must enter a rate for the Generic Model in Contract. After creating a Booking, you can change the Make and Model in the Cargo panel from the Model Master (RFMKW02) screen.

However, the Rate for that cargo must remain unchanged for that Generic Model based on the following logic:

• If newly-selected Model does not exist in the same Contract number ->LP/DP, PCC.NET does not change the Rate for that the Generic Model.

• If newly-selected Model exist in the same Contract number ->LP/DP, the Rate automatically gets changed from the Generic Model rate to rate as per the newly -selected model.

• The minimum value for Rate is -99999999.9999, and the maximum is 999999999.9999. Any value entered must fit in this range.

• For Charges with Basis as PT, Rate should not be more than or equal to 1 (that is, Rate is less than 100%) except for CAF. For CAF Rate should not be more than 2 (Rate should be less 200%).

You can enter values up to 4 digits after decimal point and the Rated At value is rounded off up to 4 digits after decimal point. PCC.NET shows the saved values up to 4 digits after decimal point.

When you change the Payment Term (P/C) value or Freight Collection Office value in Booking, PCC.NET tries to find a unique Rate based on the Charge, Basis, Payment Term and Freight Collection Office, and automatically set it.

Currency

Charge currency applicable to the rate, for example, USD (US dollars). This field has the Auto-Complete feature, which helps you to populate the relevant currency as you type.

Notes:

• The currencies displayed in the list are registered in the Currency (RFCSW02) screen.
• Multiple Currency is not allowed for OFR.

P/C

Drop-down list to select the payment method to indicate whether the revenue is prepaid or collect type. Available values are P, which means Prepaid and C, which means Collect.

Amount

PCC.NET automatically calculates this amount by multiplying the value of Rate with Rated At. Read-only.

Amount is rounded off up to the precision value of currency but shows the saved values up to two digits after decimal point.

Freight Collection Office

Organization name of the freight collection office of the charge. By default, PCC.NET populates this field from Contract; if unavailable, it populates from the Location Master (RFLCW10) screen with respect to the Booking Load Port. You can update this field. You can enter either the six-character organization code or the organization name. This field has the Auto-Complete feature, which helps you to populate the relevant organization as you type.

Invoicing Office

The organization where the invoice for the corresponding charge is created.

• By default, PCC.NET populates this value from Contract. If it is unavailable in contract, PCC.NET populates it from Location Master with respect to Booking Load Port. You can update this field.

• If you (as Invoice Office user) add this organization, you can enter either the six-character organization code or the organization name. This field has the Auto-Complete feature, which helps you to populate the relevant organization as you type. After selection, the full organization name is displayed.

Payer

Payer is a customer who pays the charges in the invoice. By default, PCC.NET populates this value from Contract. However, you can add or edit this values. This field has the Auto-Complete feature, which helps you to populate the relevant payer as you type at least three characters.

You may select the Dummy Customer (2nd Hand Car (9999996)) in Collect Transaction as Payer.

Buttons

Button to open the corresponding record in edit mode in the record row. As you click this button, the corresponding row becomes editable and toggles to , which is used to save the updated record.

Notes:

• You can edit all information of the Supplementary charges. For the contractual charges, you can update only the Freight Collection Office, Invoicing Office, and Payer fields.
• To modify any rate you have to modify the Contract before using the rate or you click REFRESH RATE FROM CONTRACT for switching the rate between Broker and Broker Customer by switching the Contract number you need to click REFRESH RATE FROM CONTRACT.

You cannot modify revenue if you are assigned with the Update Booking Doc Entry Office role type along with Update Booking Without Revenue system action and delegation as Doc Entry Office.

Button to delete the corresponding charges in Booking.

Notes:

• If you delete a supplementary charge in booking which is already present in associated contract and try to add it into booking, PCC.NET restricts you to add that supplementary charge. In order to add that charge again into booking, you must click REFRESH RATE FROM CONTRACT and add the required supplementary charge.
• While editing a row, this button toggles to which is used to cancel editing.

REFRESH RATE FROM CONTRACT

Button to refresh and populate the rates from the latest version of the corresponding Service Contract, in case there are any changes in Contract revenue after the Booking creation, using the Refresh Rate from ContractRefresh Rate from Contract dialog box. This dialog box shows you all cargo details used for current Booking, for the concerned Load Port and Discharge Port along with the refreshed rates from Contract. Click OK in the dialog box to update all the refreshed rates in the Booking Revenue.

During Booking creation, Revenue information, both Contractual and Supplementary, are inherited from the corresponding Contract. For Contractual charges retrieved in the Booking, only the Freight Collection Office, Invoicing Office, and Payer information can be updated. If there is any change in the Contract revenue after the Booking creation, it must reflect in the corresponding Booking also. The latest rates of the Contract can be inherited in the Booking using REFRESH RATE FROM CONTRACT. The modified revenue details of the Contract linked with the corresponding Booking for the concerned Load Port and Discharge Port can be updated by virtue of this feature. This is applicable to both Contractual and Supplementary charges in the Contract.

Rates from the Contract that are populated in the dialog box and refreshed:

• The rates that have changed in the Contract for the particular Make and Model associated with the Booking.

• The rates whose effective date in the Contract are same as or earlier than the ETD of the first Mother/PCL vessel associated with the Booking leg.

• If a charge with basis PT gets refreshed from the Contract, it retrieves only the updated Rate from the latest revision of the corresponding Contract; the dependent applicable charges are not changed during this operation.

The discrepancy between Contract revenue and Booking revenue is displayed in Blue color.

• If the whole record appears in Blue, it indicates that a new revenue charge is added in the Contract.
• If only the Rate field appears in Blue, it indicates that the revenue charge is updated in the Contract.

FMC FILING

Button to provide the FMC Filing details for Bookings having Load Port or Discharge Port belonging to the port of US territories using the FMC DetailsFMC Details dialog box. It displays all cargo associated with current Booking and all revenues and their FMC information associated with current Booking.

You can enter FMC filing information for both Contractual and Supplementary charges as per certain conditionscertain conditions.

Notes:

• FMC filing is applicable and required only for Bookings having Origin/Destination in US territory. For these cases, Bookings does not change from Draft to Requested or from Requested to Accepted status unless the FMC Details is completed.

• You can postpone the actual FMC filing of a Booking of U.S. bound shipment until its B/L is ready for invoice issuance. In this regard, you need to select Pending for Approval check box in the dialog box.

• If there is any Supplementary charge which is not associated with any Make/Model, PCC.NET does not check for FMC information against it.

• FMC Information Defaulted from Contract (if available)FMC Information Defaulted from Contract (if available)

  FMC information can be added to a Contract having Origin/Destination in US territory, but is not mandatory. If available, the information is populated in the corresponding Booking during:

  • Create Booking from Contract

  • Add Cargo from Contract

  • Add Revenue in Booking by Refresh Rate From Contract

  While creating Booking from Contract, PCC.NET retrieves and default FMC-related information for the newly-added cargoes in the Booking as per the following logic. Once defaulted from Contract, Booking user can change the FMC Filing type and FMC Number in Booking. FMC information is eventually defaulted from Booking in B/L.

  • FMC information retrieved during creating a Booking from Contract

    While creating a Booking, if FMC information is already entered in the corresponding Contract (having Origin/Destination in the US territory), that information gets automatically populated in the FMC Details dialog box of the corresponding Booking.

    • If the FMC information is entered at Port-pair level of a Contract, the information gets populated in the FMC References pane of the FMC Details dialog box.

    • If the FMC information is entered at Make Model level of a Contract, the Exempt FMC check box gets selected in the Cargo Details panel of the FMC Details dialog box.

    • If the FMC information is entered at Revenue level of a Contract, the information gets populated in the FMC Filing Against Revenue panel of the FMC Details dialog box.

    Notes:

    • If the FMC information entered in a Contract is an expired one, while creating a Booking from the Contract, PCC.NET displays an warning message ("600036-CON-Contract contains expired FMC information. Do you want to proceed with expired FMC?") asking user whether to apply expired FMC information in the Booking. You need to confirm in the message to apply the FMC details in that Booking.

    • During Booking creation PCC.NET checks if Space Charter Agreement Number entered in the Contract is not deleted from the FMC Document Details (OPBKW07) screen. If that Space Charter Agreement Number is deleted from FMC Document Details (OPBKW07) screen, PCC.NET ignores the Space Charter Agreement Number and creates the Booking without any FMC information.

    • While updating the FMC information in a Booking, if the FMC information is already entered in the Revenue level, and you try to select the Exempt FMC check box, PCC.NET displays an warning message,"There are already FMC Filing information entered with associated revenue. Do you want to remove them?". You need to confirm the deletion in the message.

    • While updating the FMC information in a Booking, if you clear the Exempt FMC check box and add FMC information against only one Revenue, while saving, PCC.NET displays an error message "300062-BKG-Required FMC filing details for cargo seq.1 and Revenue seq. 2".

    FMC information retrieved during Refresh Rate from Contract after Rollover

    • If Rollover does not change First LP or Last DP, there is no impact on FMC details retrieved during Refresh Rate from Contract.

    • After Rollover from a non-US port to an US port, FMC details are retrieved and selected from Contract by checking the availability of FMC details hierarchically (that is, first Booking level, then Cargo level, and lastly Revenue level in the FMC Details dialog box).

    • After Rollover from an US port to another US port, existing FMC details are deleted first and the new details retrieved from Contract are applied by checking the availability of FMC details hierarchically.

    FMC information retrieved during Refresh Rate from Contract (without Rollover)

    • If the Contract has FMC information at the Revenue level, during the Refresh Rate from Contract process, the same is selected against that Booking Revenue.

    • If Booking has Space Charter Agreement number in the FMC Reference pane of the FMC Details dialog box, Contract-specific FMC information is ignored.

    FMC information retrieved during adding Cargo from Contract

    • If the Contract has FMC information at the port-pair level, FMC information present for the newly-added cargos in the Contract does not get displayed in the Booking.

    • If the Contract has FMC information at the Cargo or Revenue level, FMC information gets retrieved in the Booking.

    Notes:

    • During Add Cargo from Booking, PCC.NET checks if Space Charter Agreement Number is available in the FMC Reference pane of the FMC Details dialog box. If any Space Charter Agreement Number is entered in the Booking, FMC information does not get retrieved in the Booking.
    • During Add Cargo from Contract, PCC.NET checks if Space Charter Agreement Number entered in the Contract is active in the FMC Document Details (OPBKW07) screen. If that Space Charter Agreement Number is deleted from FMC Document Details (OPBKW07) screen, PCC.NET ignores Space Charter Agreement Number.
    • If the FMC information is an expired one with respect to the ETD of the first load port, PCC.NET displays warning message.

CANCEL

Button to close the Create/Update Booking (OPBKW02) screen and navigate to the Search Booking (OPBKW01) screen. If there is any change in the Booking, a warning message appears when you click this button asking you to confirm the cancellation.

SAVE

Notes:

• Mandatory information required to save a Booking and change its statuses
• Conditions to accept a Booking
• How PCC.NET checks for duplicate BookingsHow PCC.NET checks for duplicate Bookings

  Duplicate Booking check is done during following status changes when a similar kind of Booking exists in Requested, Accepted, and Reconciled status:

  • Draft to Requested: When you complete entering all Booking information and try to change the Booking status by clicking SAVE.

  • Accepted to Requested: For example, when you change Cargo, Voyage or Route information in a Booking in Accepted status.

  • Requested to Requested: For example, when you change Booking data keeping its status unchanged to Requested.

  It checks for duplicate Bookings based on following Booking parameters:

  • LP-DP

  • Make/Model

  • Units (along with Unit of Measurement)

  • All Customers (Initiator, Shipper, Forwarder and Consignee)

  When PCC.NET finds duplicate Bookings, it displays a warning message with the option to proceed on your confirmation.

• Validations that PCC.NET checks internally while you save a BookingValidations that PCC.NET checks internally while you save a Booking

  PCC.NET checks the following validations when you try to save the Booking and display errors if they fail:

  • Booking date must be before or on the date of ATD/ETD at the first Load Port (applicable for PCL/Line transport modes)

  • Customer (Initiator, Shipper, Forwarder, Consignee) in a Booking information must not have been deleted.

  • Doc Entry Office and Doc Issuing Office must not have been deleted.

  • For the first leg of Route From Location (LP) must be same as the Load Port (PR). Similarly, for the last leg of Route To Location (DP) must be same as the Discharge Port (PD).

  • Location set as From Location (LP) or To Location (DP) must not be Inactive and not deleted from the selected voyage (if any).

  • ATA/ETA value for the Arrives on Port should be later than the ATD/ETD of the Departs on Port.

  • From Location (LP) and To Location (DP) has not been deleted from the selected voyage.

  FMC Details-related Checks:

  Before associating the FMC details, PCC.NET checks the following conditions and displays relevant warning messages requiring your acceptance if any of the following fails. PCC.NET associate the FMC document with the current Booking only after you accept the warning.

  • If Departs On (ETD) of the first port of Booking is before or on the Effective Date of FMC Filing, PCC.NET displays a warning that associated FMC file is not yet effective for the first port ETD.

  • If Departs On (ETD) of the first port of Booking is after or on the Expiry Date of FMC Filing, PCC.NET displays a warning that the associated FMC file has expired for the first port ETD.

  • If the day count between Expiry Date of FMC Filing and Departs On (ETD) of the first port of Booking is within 10 days, PCC.NET displays a warning that expiry date of FMC Filing is getting close.

  The first port ETD is Departs On (ETD) of first leg sequence of Route of the Booking. This first port ETD is shown in the FMC Details dialog box as the Sail Date.
