•Once the event codes are matched, program will check the start event and end event of the container as defined in Demurrage setup program.
•If end move date is not there for the container and only start date is present, system will consider the system date as the end date to calculate demurrage.
•If the container doesn’t have the defined start moves, check the setup whether ‘Allow calculation’ flag and refer voyage master start calculation date.
•Using the From and To event dates, calculate the total days applicable for calculating demurrage.
