Shipment Management

Demurrage Transaction Status

Demurrage transaction statuses reflect different aspects of shipment activity such as approval and settlement. Some statuses act as requirements for demurrage transaction actions. Demurrage transaction statuses are defined by two values: status types and status values.

Demurrage transactions can be assigned the following status types:

  • DT_APPROVAL:
    • APPROVED: This status indicates that the demurrage transaction has been approved. This status is set by "Set External Status" action. Once the demurrage transaction is approved, modification of demurrage transaction details is not allowed.
    • NOT_APPROVED: Default demurrage transaction approval status is Not Approved.
    • ON_HOLD: This status indicates that the demurrage transaction has been put on hold in case of dispute for a particular transaction. If a demurrage transaction is put on hold, it will not be included as part of settlement report.
  • DT_SETTLEMENT:
    • CALCULATED: This status indicates the charges are calculated. The status is set by Calculate Charges action or Set Internal Status action. It is set when demurrage end event is available.
    • ESTIMATED: This status indicates the charges calculated as estimates, because the demurrage transaction does not have an end event yet. The status is set by Calculate Charges action. It is set when demurrage end event is not yet available.
    • NOT_STARTED: Default demurrage transaction settlement status is Not Started.
  • DT_TRANSACTION:
    • ENDED: Is set once the demurrage transaction end event is captured. Set by agent action "Create/Update Demurrage Transaction" on Tracking Event Object Type. At this status, you can trigger the calculation of final demurrage chargeable days and charges with the action Calculate Charges.
    • NOT_STARTED: Default demurrage transaction status is Not Started.
    • STARTED: Is set once the demurrage transaction start event is captured; set by agent action "Create/Update Demurrage Transaction" on Tracking Event Object Type. At this status, you can trigger the calculation of estimate demurrage chargeable days and charges with the action Calculate Charges. Default demurrage transaction status is Not Started.

You can define which statuses are displayed for each user by creating a status type filter and then using Manage User Access to associate the User Access Type of Status Type Filter with a particular user. When you have done so, a small arrow appears near the top of the Status window. Clicking the arrow displays all of the statuses, not just the ones displayed by the filter. Bold statuses are ones that appear in the filter, and regular ones are statuses hidden by the filter.
