Negative Margin
Jobs that have zero or negative margin require a profit and loss reason code upon marking the job CMP. CargoWise will not allow a user to mark a job CMP without a profit and loss reason code if the job is at zero or negative margin upon marking CMP. There are some exceptions in the US where a job may be positive at the time of marking CMP, but when corporate revenue fee hits later, it may leave a job in negative margin, thus will show on the OCD requiring operators to input a profit and loss reason code.
To Fix: Enter the reason code from the billing screen of the job using the appropriate reason code definitions listed below.

Job Department Error
CargoWise has programmed auto defaults of job departments with logic based on an operators log in country, where a job is originating and destinating, and transport mode. Operators should never manually update the job departments that default on the billing screen of a job in CargoWise. If a manual job department is changed, the OCD will recognize this and identify what the proper job department code should be, requiring operators to update it appropriately. As of October 1, 2023 there currently is a bug in the OCD on job department errors causing a unnecessarily high amount of errors and we are fixing that. Once its fixed we will advise the field and remove this message. The field currently does not need to fix these until the bug is fixed.
