Logbook: Log Cargo Events and Activities

You can log cargo events and activities to track loading, discharging, adjusting, or transferring cargo. These entries update recorded inventory and can affect future transactions.

The type you select determines whether positive or negative values are allowed:

• Load Cargo accepts only positive values.
• Discharge Cargo accepts only negative values.
• Adjust Cargo accepts positive or negative values.
• Transfer Cargo moves cargo between tanks or assets.

Log Cargo for a Single Hold

You can log cargo events for a single cargo hold on an asset.

To log cargo for a single hold

1. Go to the Onboard > Logs > Logbook tab.
2. Click Log a new entry.
3. From the Entry Type list, select the cargo event or activity you created in Setup.
4. Select the commodity. The associated cargo hold is displayed automatically.
5. Enter the required values for the cargo hold:
   • Change or Total (based on the type selected)
   • Total Calculated Volume (if applicable)
6. When you’re finished, click Log Event or Log Activity.

Log Cargo for Multiple Holds

You can log cargo for commodities that are linked to more than one cargo hold. By default, the system divides totals equally across all holds, but you can adjust values for individual holds.

To log cargo for multiple holds

1. Go to the Onboard > Logs > Logbook tab.
2. Click Log a new entry.
3. From the Entry Type list, select the cargo event or activity you created in Setup.
4. Select the commodity. The associated cargo holds are displayed automatically.
5. Enter the overall Change or Total for the commodity. The system distributes the values equally across the associated holds.
6. To adjust values for individual holds, enter the Total Calculated Volume for each one. The system recalculates the corresponding Change and Total.
7. When you’re finished, click Log Event or Log Activity.

Log Cargo for Attached Assets

You can log cargo for attached assets in the same way as for primary assets.

To log cargo for an attached asset

1. Go to the Onboard > Logs > Logbook tab.
2. Click Log a new entry.
3. From the Entry Type list, select the attached asset cargo event or activity you created in Setup.
4. Select the attached asset and commodity. The associated cargo holds are displayed automatically.
5. Enter the required values as you would for a primary asset.
6. When you’re finished, click Log Event or Log Activity.
