| Info |
|---|
Requires the configuration flag CFGBunkerDeactivation. When enabled, the fuel types for a vessel can be marked as inactive. |
...
Setup
This feature requires a minimum schema version of 407.

If Inactive is checked, the selected fuel type will no longer be visible on newly created Voyage Estimates or in Voyage Manager. This change will not affect past voyages or estimates.
Deactivating Fuels
You can stay organized with Estimates and Voyages by removing unwanted fuels from being a factor in chartering and operations.
Go to the Data Center → Vessel List and select a vessel that contains a fuel no longer used on the vessel.
On the Vessel, you will see the following In Port Consumption Table view containing different fuel types.
To deactivate a fuel type, select the Inactive checkbox.

Submission of Updated Forms to the Vessel
Once the changes have been made to the forms, it's important to send the updated forms to the vessel. This guarantees that the vessel possesses the most current data.
Handling Old Forms with ROB for the Deactivated Fuel Type
In the event that the vessel continues to use the old forms and reports ROB for the deactivated fuel type:
When these forms are received in the office and opened for approval, a specific message will appear.
...
At this point, you have two choices:
Option 1: Request the vessel's master to switch to the new forms and ask them to re-send the updated information.
Option 2: Alternatively, you can manually input the information into the voyage via the "Activity Reports."
