Repairing Damages

When a damage is repaired, the spare parts used are recorded with the repair — and the quantities are booked out of the vessel's stock automatically. The stock does not have to be corrected separately by hand.

Recording a repair

Open the damage and choose Repair.
Select the spare parts consumed and enter the quantity for each.
Save.

Saving is what books the stock. Cancelling the dialog leaves the stock untouched.

Correcting quantities afterwards

Only the difference is settled when a repair is saved again:

Increasing a quantity books the additional amount out.
Decreasing it credits the difference back.
Removing a spare-part line credits back everything that was booked for it.

Where you save it matters

Saving the repair on the vessel changes the stock quantity immediately.

Saving it in the office sends the change to the vessel as a stock correction request, which the crew has to confirm before the on-board quantity changes. The repair itself and the recorded quantities are saved either way — only the moment the stock figure moves depends on where the repair was saved. See Stock Corrections from Office.

When nothing is booked

Stock is kept per vessel. Booking only happens for real vessels with an IMO number. A case edited in the office without a vessel link books nothing — that is correct, not an error.
Only real stock items are booked. Free-text entries that are not linked to a stock item leave the stock alone. It is worth maintaining spare parts as stock items rather than as free text, so the automatic booking can work at all.
If a booking cannot be carried out — the item is not kept in that vessel's stock, or it is locked at that moment — a message asks you to correct the stock by hand. The repair itself is never blocked by this.

The report closes itself

A stevedore damage report does not have to be closed by hand. As soon as the last remaining damage is marked as repaired, the report closes automatically. A report that seems to vanish from the open list right after its final repair has simply been closed, because nothing was left to do.

Who may change a damage

This depends on the status of the damage:

While it is still a draft, it can be edited and deleted both on board and in the office.
Once it has been approved and activated, editing and deleting are possible in the office only. On board the corresponding buttons are disabled for such damages — this is intentional and not a permission problem.
