Assemble Invoice in Hire Payable When Button is Disabled

Problem

A user is unable to assemble the next hire for a time charter (TC) In contract due to the Assemble Invoice... button being disabled. How can this be adjusted?

Solution

Invoices cannot be assembled for closed voyages. In the Hire Payable module this applies to all of voyages on the TC In conract. To enable assembly of the next hire charter all closed voyages associated with the TC in contract must be re-opened and then the invoice assembled.

To re-open a voyage:

  1. Go to Modules > Post Fixture > Hire Payable.
  2. Check all document lines to see if any related to closed voyages
  3. Go to Modules > Booking and Operations > Booking and Operations.
  4. Select the first applicable vessel in the By Vessel list. All associated voyages will display in the Voyage List.
  5. Re-open all closed voyages.
  6. Repeat Steps 3-5 until all applicable voyages have been re-opened.
  7. Go to Modules > Post Fixture > Hire Payable.
  8. The Assemble Invoice... button should now be active and invoices can be assembled.
