Leavers Paid Status

The Service Charge module is typically installed together with the Payroll module. For example, you can use an external Payroll system to pay the service charge, thus requiring a function to manually set the crew Paid Status in the Service Charge module.

Setting the value in the General, Use Payroll to 0 parameter activates the Paid/Not Paid button in the Overview ribbon bar. After the Crew Officer confirms all leavers are paid and receipts are generated, the Purser then manually sets all BSC leavers status to “Paid” in the Service Charge module.

Selecting the crew record(s) and clicking the Paid button flag sets the Paid column status to Yes. Similarly, clicking the Not Paid button resets the flag to No.

This figure shows the service charge payment status for leavers.

At the closure of the voyage/segment, click Calculate Total. The system automatically triggers all non-leavers Paid status as “Yes”. At the confirmation prompt, select OK to proceed.

At this time, all Beverage Service Charge (BSC) earned in the voyage by all non-repatriating Crew members status are automatically flagged as Paid and the window is locked for any modifications.
