The port agent sends a proforma disbursement account before the call and a final account after it, and the two rarely agree line for line. Terminal, towage, pilotage and agency items are re-described between the two documents, so the operations desk pays the final account because the total looks plausible rather than because the variances were understood. If you finance or lease vessels, that is a desk in your own business.
What the work is
An agent matches the final disbursement account to the proforma line by line, normalises the item descriptions so towage and pilotage are compared with their own counterparts, and lists every variance with the supporting voucher attached. Items with no proforma counterpart are separated out rather than absorbed. In the Cabinet, ArkOne’s reference design for an executive agent, this is the Finance seat: one of ten specialists the room can consult, each a name, a model and a set of instructions rather than a department.
The part of the design carrying the weight here is the table, and the setting that governs it is stated once on the Register.
What it does not do
Whether an unbudgeted item is queried with the agent or accepted as a local charge, because pushing back on a port agent the fleet uses every month is a relationship decision. That is not a limitation of the software. It is the line the reference design draws on purpose, and a vendor who offers to move it is selling you something else.
What changes
The final account is paid against the variances rather than against a total that looked about right.
Take proforma disbursement account, final disbursement account, port agent into the demonstration and use them without explaining them. A vendor whose agent handles this work already knows those words; one who asks what they mean is showing you a system built for a different trade.

By evening
Drag the day. This work is owned by the Finance seat, and one hour of it is not the machine's to decide.
Assembly · the Seats
The Seat that owns this work gathers what it needs and drafts. This is the part a demonstration shows you, and it is the part that cannot break anything.
What you have at five: The final account is paid against the variances rather than against a total that looked about right
The hours are a shape, not a schedule. What is fixed is the order: nothing reaches a system you run before the Door, and nothing continues past the wait without a person.
