Create a Mine Location

Ideally, a mine location should only exist as a property of a business area or another mine location.

Stockpile categories can be used to build up the hierarchy of the structure of the mine location (for example, Pits » Panels » Levels).

The following objects should exist within a mine location: mine location (mine locations can be nested beneath other mine locations) and mine source.

Security Note: You need the Allow location maintenance security right in the Supply Chain user group security rights group for this activity.
