If CFGEnableBunkerInvMultigrade is enabled, the fuel grade on the Bunker Purchase matches the grade on its row in the Inquiries and Purchases grid of the Bunker Requirement. A change in either place updates the other.
In IMOS, a bunker inquiry is a Bunker Purchase with Purchase Status Inquiry. The Bunker Purchase form captures all data related to a bunker inquiry or purchase, including the purchase type, purchase number, order date, and user who placed the order.
Bunker Purchase List
The Bunker Purchase List includes all bunker inquiries and purchases, one per row, of any status.
For most bunker specialists, the Bunker Purchase List functions as the primary work list for managing the bunker purchase process; others might prefer to use the Bunker Lifting List.
On the Operations menu, under Bunkers, select Bunker Purchase List.
-
As with any other list, you can search, select, adjust, pin, filter, group, and sort columns, reset to the default view, save user views, and export.
-
Gray rows do not have a Purchase No. and are not clickable.
You can do any of the following:
-
Filter the list to manage all active inquiries and orders.
-
See completed purchases and add purchase details.
-
See historical data regarding inquiries and purchases per port, per vendor, or per fuel type, to compare costs and performance at different ports and with different vendors.
-
Open or create bunker inquiries or purchases.

Delivery Terms: This section is for information and reporting purposes only. You can find the following check boxes and the amount information in the Report Designer, under Bunker Requirement → Bunker Inquiries and Purchases → Bunker Inquiries and Purchases Details tables:
-
Density Claim: Select this check box if the density of the fuel provided on the bunker receipt does not correspond to the correct conversions for volume at standard temperature and weight.
-
Shortage Claim: Select this checkbox if there is a quantity shortage.

Offspec Claim: Select this checkbox if the fuel does not satisfy the quality requirements set by the contract or regulation.
-
Demurrage Claim: Select this checkbox if the purchase of bunker fuel, which is delivered by barge or tanker, has resulted in demurrage charges.
-
In the Bunker Lifting List Claims column, these claim types also appear as as comma-separated values (for example, Density, Shortage, Offspec, Demurrage). You can filter by one claim type to display all the liftings that have that claim type.
