MineMarket - What's New

MineMarket 5.5.1 (January 2022)

User Interface
  • You can specify a web page to display within the MineMarket Client user interface when users log into MineMarket. (See Configure the Start Screen.) This Start Screen can also be accessed via the Application ribbon tab. The Start Screen can be an internet page, or a page designed to have interactive elements that can open MineMarket objects.
Inventory Management and Tracking
  • If you delete a sample template from a Process Flow, MineMarket deletes the sample template from any Transaction Editor Configuration that uses that process flow. However, you can only delete a sample template via the process flow if the sample template has not yet been used to create a sample.
Transportation and Logistics
  • The Options screen includes a setting for whether to Enter Times With Despatch Dates. If checked, times can be entered and are stored for date fields in despatches. If unchecked, only the date can be entered and the time is stored as 00:00:00 (midnight). Existing time data is retained in the database, but is not displayed in the MineMarket user interface. This setting can be overridden for a Train Template, Truck Despatch Template, Service Trip Template or Shipment Template. Despatches based on those templates use the template setting instead of this global setting.
  • You can enter a surveyor for each despatch route point for reporting purposes. See Enter a Surveyor for a Route Point of a Despatch.
Sales and Marketing
  • If a forward curve price series uses extrapolation, the interpolated and extrapolated prices are saved in the MineMarket database. You can specify the number of days that MineMarket extrapolates prices from the Effective Start date. See Set up a Forward Curve Price Series.
  • When configuring (forward curve price series) prompts for a market, the basis for calculating the prompt date can be the last business day of the month. See Create a Market.
  • Multiple banks branches may have the same name but different branch numbers. When selecting a bank branch for an organisation, company or district bank account, the branch number also displays. See Specify the Banking Details for an Organisation, Company or District.
  • The properties of a contract link can be viewed and edited via the Linked Despatch Orders tab of either the source or linked Despatch Order. For a one-off manual link between despatch orders, these properties are editable. See Link a Despatch Order Manually.
  • The maximum length of the description of a dynamic line item is 100 characters. See Add a Dynamic Line Item to an Invoice.
  • In the search criteria of the Payment Explorer, Entry Type can be used to limit the search for payments and refunds by Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Contract Type can be used to limit the search for payments and refunds or for invoice instalments to those related only to sales or purchase despatch orders.
Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM)
  • Despatch orders can be traded with despatch orders that have a different mass basis. See Trades.
  • The exchange rate method used in trade profit and loss reports can be specified per district. See Create a District for a Company.
  • To reduce the time to display data, several queries for the Trade Explorer have been moved to the MineMarket Server. In the Trade Explorer, the Departure Date column has been replaced with Planned Despatch Date. If a despatch order is associated with a despatch, the Arrival Date is the actual time of arrival (ATA) of the despatch at the unloading location, or else the estimated time of arrival (ETA). If there are multiple despatches, the latest ATA (or ETA) is used.
System Administration
  • The visibility and order of most ribbon tabs is configurable per user group. See Configure Ribbon Tabs for a User Group.
  • MineMarket supports OAuth 2.0 as an authentication method for emailing warehouse notifications, scheduled billboards, scheduled reports and alerts. If you are testing the email configuration for OAuth for the first time, a Microsoft authentication dialog box displays. Follow the prompts to enter credentials for the account. MineMarket uses Azure Active Directory (AD) OAuth 2.0 to request an access token so that MineMarket can send emails on behalf of the authenticated account. This From address must be a Microsoft email account such as an Azure AD or Office 365 account. See Configure Email Notifications.
  • A SQL script can be generated to merge data from one organisation into another organisation. See Generate a Script to Merge Organisations.
  • The search criteria in the Audit Explorer have been simplified. Search results can be grouped and filtered. When an audit record is selected, related audit records display. For example, if a user changed the status of a despatch order, you could view audit records for the despatch order. The status change displays among the related audit records.
Installation and Upgrades
  • MineMarket is only available as a 64-bit application. The 32-bit version has been deprecated.
  • The TableLockAttempts and TableLockSleep settings have been removed from the MineMarket Service Config because the functionality was deprecated.
