Divide Fishing Trip into Periods
If the crew roster should change throughout the course of the trip, the trip can be divided into periods so that fishing crew share compensation can be accurately calculated (each period reflecting the actual crew roster for the time concerned). In addition, if the fishing trip extends between two quota years, the old quota year can be marked into one period and the new quota year into another.
From the Fishing Trip card, choose Periods from the Home tab. This action will open the Fishing Periods window.

Click New and identify the Period being created (generally 1, 2, etc.).

Choose the fishing area fished for this period in the Area Code field.
Indicate the From Date and To Date covered by this period.
The Exchange Value Ratio and Exchange Percentage will default in as the values registered for this trip. If the period has different crew settlement rates, manually adjust these fields.
The Number of Crew will default in from the crew roster. Indicate the new number of crew and specify the number of crew who are absent due to Illness or Accident in the appropriate fields.
After setting the first period, create a second period in the next line to indicate another period for the trip.
For each catch entry in the Fishing Trip, select in the Period field on the line entry and add the period the catch belongs to.
