Reconciliation Scenario 7

Diagram of reconciliation scenario 7

This scenario shows two locations, A and B. Location A contains a single stockpile 1, and location B contains a single stockpile 2. Both stockpiles have their product types set to single, and the product to Product 1.

The scenario also shows a single transaction from stockpile 1 to 2, using a process flow PF1. This process flow's source is location A and destination is location B.

The reconciliation template configuration contains two locations B and A. The reconciliation type for location B is Factorise, and the reconciliation type for location A is Adjust. Reconciliations are performed for product Product 1 in both locations.

Additionally, for factorise type reconciliations, there is a weighting assigned to each process flow into the location, for a particular product. The total must add up to 100%.

The order of the locations is important: in this case, location B must be reconciled before A.

Opening balances (as at the start of the month):

  1. 1000 t
  2. 0 t

Transactions:

  1. 20th of the month, 200 t, Process flow PF1

Closing balances (as at the end of the month):

  1. 800 t
  2. 200 t

Run a reconciliation on location B, of type Factorise. Change closing balance of stockpile 2 to 250 t. This introduces a discrepancy of 50 t which needs to be factored amongst the incoming transactions (in this case, only one transaction). This has a follow-on effect: location A now has a closing balance of 750 t because the outgoing transaction tonnage has been changed.

Run a recon on location A, of type Adjust. Change closing balance to 775 t. This introduces a discrepancy of 25 t which is cancelled by an adjustment of -25 t.

After commit, the expected results are:

  • Survey of stockpile 2 of 250 t (with reason code Recon) at the end of the month.
  • Survey of stockpile 1 of 775 t (with reason code Recon) at the end of the month.
  • Total adjustment for location B: 0 t.
  • Total adjustment for product Product 1 in location B: 0 t.
  • Total adjustment for location A: -25 t.
  • Total adjustment for product Product 1 in location A: -25 t.
  • Transaction 1 has tonnage changed to 250 t. (The old tonnage is stored in the table BulkTransactionExt, in the field Double5.)
