Crew Folio

This is the crew

members

member's 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 of 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.
It provides powerful tools to better manage cruise-ship operations. Efficiencies are created through wizards, batch processing, ship participation, and e-commerce integration. The administration for all installations (ships, warehouses, hotels, out islands) is done from the office, and changes are merge replicated daily. All modules are integrated with each other and data is available system-wide.

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

member's 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.
