Charter finance, inside Business Central.

Trident turns charter terms into staged sales invoices, tracks APA from receipt through settlement, and gives finance one clear closeout position for every charter.

One finance trail

From signed terms to closeout

Trident keeps the charter-specific control around standard Business Central sales documents, payments and posting.

Commercial terms

Pricing, commissions and payment stages stay attached to the charter.

Billing and funds

Schedule lines create standard BC invoices. Posted and paid truth returns to the charter automatically.

Reconciliation and closeout

APA, settlement and billing blockers resolve into one finance closeout position.

Schedule

Staged billing on standard Business Central invoices

Deposit, APA and balance lines retain their due date, amount, status and sales invoice number in one finance view.

The Charter Payment Schedule shows five EUR lines across charters CH26-0141 to CH26-0145. One line is planned, two are posted and two are paid. Posted and paid lines show invoice numbers INV-27332 through INV-27335. — Payment schedule Five current charter lines moving from planned to posted and paid, with the originating BC invoice retained on each billed line.

Build Schedule turns the agreed stages into dated lines. Rebuild Schedule recalculates planned lines when dates or terms change and leaves anything already billed untouched.

Posting and payment application remain standard Business Central work. Trident reads that ledger truth back into the schedule, so finance does not maintain a second invoice status by hand.

APA

APA controlled from receipt to settlement

Received funds, reviewed expenses, variance, funding status and settlement outcome stay together on the charter.

The APA Summary for charter CH26-0144 shows EUR 44,400 estimated, invoiced and received, EUR 49,008.98 reviewed expenses, a EUR 4,608.98 shortfall, Additional charge due from charterer, Charge required and Top-up Required. — APA reconciliation A completed charter where reviewed spend exceeds the received allowance. The variance drives the charge and top-up statuses shown on the right.

Trident separates estimated, invoiced and received APA, then compares the received amount with reviewed expenses. The result drives the operational funding status and the settlement required from or due to the charterer.

Statements are versioned. Drafts can be regenerated; issued versions are retained; settlement is calculated from the issued statement.

Closeout

A closeout position finance can act on

The charter list shows what is complete, what still blocks closeout and where finance needs to work next.

The Charters list shows six current charters with vessel and route descriptions, Completed status, Committed preparation status, distinct closeout positions, customer numbers, dates, MYBA pricing and EUR charter values. — Charter overview Six representative charters at different finance positions, from billing not started to ready to close.

One status on the list

Billing, payment, APA, statement and settlement checks resolve into a single closeout position.

All blockers in the workbench

Finance can see simultaneous problems instead of clearing them one at a time.

Controlled lifecycle

Close is refused until every required finance condition is clear.

Release status

Built for evaluation, not production rollout

Version 0.1.0.46 is a pre-release per-tenant extension for controlled evaluation in a Business Central sandbox.

Validated locally

Current proof

The production and test apps publish, role and read-boundary checks pass, UAT coverage is complete, and the full local release-candidate suite passes.

Still pre-release

Current boundary

No live charter operation has completed a pilot. Production upgrades and live role-based user journeys still require controlled customer proof.

Validation status Known limitations Security
