Update Storage form

The Update Storage form enables you to override the calculated last free day and update the guaranteed through day, guarantee party, and paid through day for storage, reefer, and line storage charges for the selected unit. The Update Storage form also displays the calculated last free day for the selected unit. For more information on calculating the last free day for a unit, see Storage Rule Types view.

Prerequisites

• The Update Storage option is only available if you select at least one unit in the list view.

• N4 displays the Line Storage area only if INVBILLING016 (BILLING_CREATE_LINE_STORAGE) is set to true.

The Update Storage form displays the following three areas:

• Storage: Displays the last free day, last free day override, guarantee through day, guarantee party, and paid through day for the STORAGE events.

• Line Storage: Displays the last free day, last free day override, guarantee through day, guarantee party, and paid through day for the LINE_STORAGE events.

• Power: Displays the last free day, last free day override, guarantee through day, guarantee party, and paid through day for the REEFER events.

N4 uses the Guarantee Through Day, Power Guarantee Thru Day, and Line Guarantee Through Day fields to evaluate the availability of a container. You can deliver the container up through the guaranteed date assuming that the Guarantee Party will be invoiced later.

The following privileges protect the various fields in the Update Storage form:

• Units Actions - Update Storage: A user with this privilege can update all the fields in the Update Storage form.

• Units Actions - Update Last Free Day: A user with this privilege can update only the Last Free Day Override field.

• Units Actions - Update Paid Thru Day: A user with this privilege can update only the Paid Through Day fields.

When you update the storage details for a unit, N4 records the UNIT_STORAGE_UPDATE event. When you update the line storage details for a unit, N4 records the UNIT_LINE_STORAGE_UPDATE event. Similarly, when you update the details related to power charges, N4 records the UNIT_POWER_UPDATE event.

You can view the event details on the History, Events tab (on page 1) in the Unit Inspector (on page 1).

When you record guarantee for a unit, N4 ensures the following:

• The unit has not already left the facility.

• The Guarantee Through Date is greater than the Last Free Day for the unit.

• If the Paid Through Day is specified, the Guarantee Date entered is greater than the Paid Through Day.

• The Guarantee Party is a credit customer in good standing.

N4 includes the guarantees for LINE_STORAGE events with the other guarantees for a unit when checking whether an OAC customer has exceeded their OAC per unit Guarantee Limit.
