Vessel Maintenance (PO61)

The Vessel Maintenance (PO61) program is used to maintain and create vessel information. Some of the information from this program is used in the Enter Receipts/In-Transits (PO60) program (in the In-Transit section of the Header Info folder). To access the Vessel information in PO60, the batch type must be in In-Transit. For more information about In-Transits in PO60 click here.

The following list defines all of the fields in PO61:

  • In the Vessel Info section:

    • Vessel - enter the vessel name. You can enter a maximum of 30 characters in this field.

    • Port of Embarkation - enter the port of origin for the vessel. You can enter a maximum of 30 characters in this field.

  • The Dates section allows entry of the following three dates associated with the current Vessel being tracked/maintained:

    • Confirmed Arrival - enter or select from the query the Confirmed Arrival date.

    Note: All of these dates are retained in the Receipt history once the associated vessel is assigned to the In Transit and received to stock via Enter Receipts/In-Transits (PO60)/Receive In-Transit To Stock (PO63).
