Create a Mine Source

A mine source can only exist as a property of a mine location.

A mine source is a type of WAG stockpile, from which material can only be removed. Mine sources can be organised in stockpile categories. The stockpile categories can be used to represent logical physical groupings (for example, Pit, Seam, Strip, Block).

When defining a supply chain, mine sources are the start of the supply chain. Mine sources hold details about mine quality at inception, for the throughput of material into the supply chain. Although a mine source can contain other mine sources, a mine source is the fundamental initial point, against which transactions start.

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