Set up a Stockpile Category

Stockpiles must belong to a stockpile category or sub-category.

A stockpile can be placed into a different category after its initial placement even though it may have had transactions performed on it (for example, to move a stockpile to an inactive category). See Change the Location of a Stockpile.

A stockpile category can exist as a property of a mine location, stock location, another stockpile category, a waste location, truck location, rail siding, barge terminal or port location.

Security Note: You need the Allow stockpile maintenance security right in the Stockpiles domain security rights group for this activity.
