Update Current P&L Snapshot, after posting of bunker journals
Background:
The current P&L snapshot are used by many for voyage reporting. If the necessary config flags are set correctly in VIP, then with every change in P&L updates current Voyage snapshot.
Issue:
This update is however not triggered when bunker journals are posted. When bunker period journals are posted, the change can be seen on the Voyage P&L in VIP, but the current P&L snapshot remains old. As a result, the monthly reporting and reconciliation with the financial system is incorrect. It has been advised that this is as per the current design in VIP.
Workaround:
Just to trigger the update to the current Voyage PnL snapshot, the workaround is to make a Voyage Other Rev/Exp invoice and then remove it. This not only causes extra work, but could also lead to errors if someone forgets to create one in the first place.
Solution:
Please update current voyage P&L also when a bunker journal has been posted. This can be a configuration flag.
