   Invoicing: Invoicing opens a drop-down menu with the selections Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The module allows a user to move from the Laytime module directly to the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable modules respectively.

      Note: In some cases despatch can register under Accounts Receivable as a negative number.

   Recalculate: No laytime calculation can be made until the Recalculate button is clicked. Once clicked, the calculation is refreshed and recalculated. Recalculate can be clicked at any time during a calculation, and will calculate on that point the most updated figures. It is also possible to enter multiple data without running a calculation and wait until all required details are entered and then to click Recalculate to perform a single calculation (and no "part calculations"). However, the recalculate function will automatically be performed upon closing the Laytime Calculations module. Appropriate fields in the Voyage Estimate and Booking and Operations modules will also automatically update with the Laytime Calculations module each time the calculation is refreshed and recalculated, i.e. each time Recalculate is clicked.

The button changes name to "Show Days" and all dates and time will display in hours and minutes. To revert to show time in days, click the button again.

   Print Laytime Statement: Print Laytime Statement opens a drop-down menu with the selections Print Laytime Statement and Print Old Version. The Print Laytime Statement generates a portion of a timesheet, which details the amount of laytime used by a voyage charterer and display as an electronic printout in PDF-format (separate window). The Laytime Statement print option can be run at any time, however BEFORE being run the correct port must be selected BOTH in the Port Call List (Port Call tab) and in the Cargo Port field in order for an accurate statement to be generated.

   The Print Old Version would generate the same as the Print Laytime Statement, but using an older layout. PLEASE NOTE: The use of  the Print Old Version is currently being DISCONTINUED and will be PHASED OUT.
