To enter the costs (food, fuel, personal expenses, etc.) associated with the trip.

1. From the Fishing Trip Card, click Related > Cost and Funds > Cost from the header in the Agreement.

2. The Cost window for the trip will be displayed. Here it is possible to fetch costs entered for this vessel’s last trip and edit them, or start from scratch.

4. Select the Cost being recorded. This will populate the majority of the fields with the information specified for this cost type. The list of Cost Types can be amended.

5. Select the Entry Type for the Cost (Purchase or Sale)

6. Adjust the Quantity and Unit Price, to calculate the Amount.

7. Select if the Cost is Deducted from the Sales Value, Raw Material Sales Value or the Product Sales Value.

8. It is also possible to set the cost for a specific Haul by adding the Haul Code.

9. Repeat for each cost you wish to record.
   

The next step is to allocate the cost to the fishing trip lines:

1. Close the Cost of Fishing Trip form and choose Allocate Cost by selecting Related > Cost and Funds > Allocate Cost.

2. Confirm the action in the subsequent dialog box.

10. The sum of all of the costs will now be distributed among the recorded catch lines in the Sales Cost field. This means that the value of the catch will reflect the cost deduction before calculating fisher’s share.

11. The costs can be seen on the Fishing Trip’s Contribution tab.
