Manage Voyages with Orders and Legs

You can create orders and legs to organize complex work that requires multiple voyages to complete. An order captures the overall details of the work, including the customer, origin, destination, start and end dates, order type, commodity, and assets. You can then divide each order into one or more legs to track the commodity, quantity, load location, unload location, and pickup and delivery start dates. Each leg is then linked to the voyages that carry it out.
