A couple of notes about Discharge Reasons

• The Discharge Reason will only be visible to your company - i.e. seafarers and manning agents will not be able to see it.
• You need to add permissions for your User Groups to be able to view, edit and delete Discharge Reasons. You can do this on your User Groups page.
