In N4, you can discharge cargo lots from a vessel to a valid yard position. You can select multiple cargo lots on the vessel and discharge them to a single yard position.

Prerequisites for discharging a cargo lot from a vessel

A vessel visit in the Working phase.
An Import bill of lading (on page 1).
A bill of lading item (on page 1) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
A cargo lot on the vessel.

To discharge selected cargo lot(s) from a vessel:

In the Cargo Lots view (on page 1), select the cargo lot(s) that you want to discharge from the vessel.

The selected cargo lot(s) must be on the same vessel visit; however, they can be at different positions on the vessel. In addition, the selected cargo lot must not be a default cargo lot.

Select Actions Unload Unload Vessel.
In the Cargo Discharge form:

Enter a valid Yard Position.

If you do not want to discharge the entire cargo lot, edit the value in the Quantity field to specify the quantity that you want to discharge to the specified yard position.

However, N4 does not display the Quantity field if you selected multiple cargo lots in the list view or if you selected an identified cargo lot.

Click Save.

When you successfully discharge a cargo lot from a vessel, N4:

Creates one record in the Cargo Lots view with:

Unit Nbr = Unit Nbr of the new unit created in the Units view.
Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).
Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo Discharge form.
Lot Type = Yard
Lot Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo Discharge form.

Retires the existing unit in the Units view and creates a new unit with:

T-state = Yard
Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo Discharge form.
Cargo Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).

Records the following events against the Unit record:

UNIT_DISCH event.
CARGO_DISCH event for each of the selected cargo lots. If a cargo work order is available for the cargo item, N4 records this event against the cargo work order and also updates the Qty Completed and Status columns for the cargo work order item.
GC_DISCH event for the cargo lot and bill of lading. You can use the History, Events tab in the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 1) and Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 1) to view the event details..

Adds a STORAGE event to the Chargeable Unit Events view.

If you discharge a cargo lot partially, N4 records the CARGO_DISCH event but the Quantity and Quantity Unit fields for the STORAGE event created in the Chargeable Unit Events view are null.
