Terminologies
| Crew Folio | This is the crew members journal of all his spendings onboard for a particular period. Normally for one payroll period or for a voyage. This is used on cruise vessels onboard merchant navy vessels like tank/bulk etc this is referring to like the slop chest or bonded stores. Onboard cruise vessel crew members are equipped with a crew card, that is used onboard in the various chops/stores to purchase various goods. These purchases are listed in the Crew Folio. |
| POS | The POS is the place in a shop where a product is passed from the seller to the customer. POS is an abbreviation for 'point of sale'. POS System is the system registration the purchase, cost product date etc. |
| MXP | http://www.marinexchange.com/index.php?id=222 MarineXchange MXP is the first enterprise software suite for the cruise industry. Through interfaces, MXP data flows to other systems like the company website, reservations, financial systems, or data warehouses. MXP provides a “best practices” approach and is fully SOX compliant. |
Process Flow
At the end of the voyage, the crew folios are entered into the payroll so that that cost and eventual earnings (hours/gratuities) are added and subtracted from a person's payroll.
MXP identifies a person using the Charge_Id which is added on the crew card when printing and programming the card. During a purchase, the crew members charge id is registered in the MXP POS System. The crew folios are linked to the Charge_Id.
The Crew folios can be subtracted using MXP's API.
