Activity Steps

  1. Open the Repurchase Contract.
  2. Select the Repurchase Actions tab.
  3. Select the open action.
  4. Select the Packages sub-tab.
  5. Right-click in the Packages table and select Search For Packages To Allocate from the menu.

    The Repurchase Package Search displays.

  6. Enter the following search criteria as required.
    • Start Date—Limits the search to packages where the latest activity date is later than the selected start date.
    • End Date—Limits the search to packages where the latest activity date is earlier than the selected end date. The latest activity date must be earlier than the date of the open action.
    • Package Name
    • Product
    • Package Type
    • Location
    • Batch
  7. Click Search or press F3.

    Packages matching the search criteria display. Packages that are associated with a purchase despatch order only display if control has passed on the purchase despatch order. You can choose to Show Analyte Group to view assay values of all analytes in a selected analyte group, or all analytes for which there is data.

  8. Check Selected for the required packages.

    The Total row displays the total values for the selected packages.

  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Save.

    MineMarket updates the Gross Mass and Net Mass of the open action, and reprocesses the snapshot. The Action Date becomes read-only.

    The Repurchase Actions table has a summary row. If you click the summary row, the Packages sub-tab displays the packages that have not yet been bought back.

    On the Package for each allocated package, the activity history includes the Open Repurchase activity with the date of the open action. The packages are now 'in repo' and although the packages can be moved, they cannot be associated with a despatch order until they have been allocated to a buyback action.

  11. To deallocate packages from the open action:
    1. Uncheck Allocated for the packages.
    2. Click Save.

      MineMarket removes the Open Repurchase activity from the package history.

      Note: Deallocation is only possible if the Open Repurchase is the latest activity. For example, you cannot deallocate packages that have been moved after they were allocated to the open action.
