- Req Qty: The Request Quantity defaults to the same value as the quantity planned for the voyage in Operations.
- Opr Qty: If the planned or received quantity did not come from the Voyage Bunkers form, enter it to ensure that estimated voyage consumption is basis the planned bunkers. The Opr Qty appears as an estimated amount to receive in the Port Activities form.

If a Bunker Requirement is created without a vessel, to assign one later, the specified bunker types must be compatible with the vessel.
If a Bunker Requirement is created with a vessel and a port, but no Voyage Number, to assign one later, the Voyage Number must be compatible with the specified port and the voyage's itinerary.
If a linked Bunker Purchase is invoiced, the Bunker Requirement cannot be linked to a new Voyage Number, vessel, or port.
