The report can be found under Disbursements, ‘’Cost Comparison Between Agents’’.
This report is useful to compare costs of crew changes made by different agents at a particular port / country.
It compares the average price for embarking and disembarking crew and shows the cost at that specific location, during the time frame chosen. It’s an estimation / average calculation!
It is also to be noted that if ISS was used, you will always see the main ISS hub indicated in the findings. Because that’s where all the invoices come from. So, if you need any further details, you’ll need to make a request directly to the ISS sub agent.
Additionally, if no results are shown in the screen, please go back to accounts payable for an update / advice.
I’ve quickly summarised the steps and added different screens below for a short guide how to use it and what are the different options available.
However, if you want any further clarification, please contact Costas and/or Charis. Or Andy Sarris who has tested it for us as well.
Where to find the report:
Select the ‘business unit’ i.e., accounting company or choose ‘All’ for a broader outcome.
Then select your port and add from which dates you want the system to go back and check past invoices.
I would suggest choosing anything from 9-12 months back.
Then click on the ‘search’ button.
If you want to see the breakdown of costs from a particular ‘agent’, click on the box at the end of the line, then click on the ‘breakdown’ button at the bottom.
Here you’ll see the summary of all the costs that particular agent did during the period you chose.
By ‘double’ clicking on the ‘agents’ name, you’ll see which seafarers where part of that transaction – see below next 2 screen shots.
If you want to print a report, just select which agent you want by ticking the box at the end and then generate in excel. As shown below.
