(2) If the quantity delivered is greater then the quantity slated, the requirements balance would be a
POSITIVE.
(3) If the quantity delivered is the same as slated, than the requirements balance would be ZERO.
b. The requirements balance must be computed and considered when the slate is being prepared.
(1) If the requirements balance is ZERO, no adjustment to the slate is required.
(2) If a negative requirements balance is already scheduled, no further action is required.
(3) If the negative requirements balance is not scheduled, disregard it and compute the slate based on
customer needs and available storage.
(4) If there is a positive requirements balance, review the slate and decrease or cancel order based on
customer needs and available storage.
The following is an example of the requirements balance.
JUN - The slated quantity was equal to the delivery quantity. Assuming the previous months' requirements
balance was zero, the slate for July would reflect a requirements balance of ZERO for JP8 at ocean terminal X.
No action is required to change scheduled deliveries.
JUL - The slated quantity was 120 Mbbl but only 100 Mbbl were delivered. This leaves terminal X, 20 Mbbl
short. June requirements balance was ZERO, the slate for August will reflect a NEGATIVE requirements balance
20 Mbbl of JP8 at ocean terminal X, providing storage (ullage) is available. Check the tanker schedule to see if
the difference has been scheduled for delivery. If it has, no further action is required. If not, change the slated
quantity to reflect the NEGATIVE balance if supported by customer needs and available storage.
AUG - The slated quantity was 90 Mbbl, but 120 Mbbl were delivered. This difference, 30 Mbbl brings the
requirements balance to (POSITIVE) 10 Mbbl. The slate for September will reflect a requirements balance of
(POSITIVE) 10 Mbbl. Note: The slate for September did not reflect a requirements balance of 30 Mbbl because
July's requirements balance of (minus) 20 Mbbl was considered in determining August requirements balance (for
example: -20 + 30 = +10).
