Question

A voyage has been set up with voyage currency in EUR, but should have in USD. The currency needs to be altered, as for example incorrect net TC result show with incorrect exchange rates. Can the voyage currency be changed/updated without having to delete and re-enter a voyage?

Answers

No. It is currently not possible to alter the voyage currency while the voyage is frozen. To change the voyage currency, the voyage must either:

  • have to be deleted and re-entered
  • or be un-frozen have the currency changed and re-frozen. - Recommended by Dataloy.
