Field Details:

Destinations

Total Capacity: click to view any problems relating to the Maximum Capacityvalue specified in theDestinationsdialog. If problems exist, they are listed in the right-hand pane for each relevant activity.

Period Capacity: click to view any problems relating to the Processing Capacity (per period) values specified in theDestinationsdialog. If problems exist, they are listed in the right-hand pane for each relevant activity.

The above values are specified as follows:

  1. In theUpdate Scheduledialog, clickDestinations.

  2. In theDestinationsdialog, select a destination and clickEdit.

  3. In theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Generaltab, define values in theMaximum CapacityandProcessing Capacity (per period)groups.

 

Right-hand Pane: Total Capacity

Destination: the destination which has exceeded the value forMaximum Capacityspecified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Maximum Capacitygroup.

Capacity: the maximum allowed capacity specified intheDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Maximum Capacitygroup.

Units: the units associated with the values in theCapacity,ActualandDifferencecolumns. Units are specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Maximum Capacitygroup.

Actual: the quantity of material associated with the destination shown in theDestinationcolumn.

Difference: the difference in quantity between the values shown in theCapacityandActualcolumns in theCheck Scheduledialog. This value represents the difference between the maximum allowed capacity specified intheDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Maximum Capacitygroup, and the actual amount of material for the relevant destination.

Start: the start date of the period which is shown in thePeriodcolumn.

Finish: the end date of the period which is shown in thePeriodcolumn.

Loader: the machine class associated with theLoadermachine type for which Total Capacity errors are displayed.

Sequence: the sequence number associated with the machine class shown in theLoadercolumn, for the period shown in thePeriodcolumn.

 

Right-hand Pane: Period Capacity

Destination: the destination which has exceeded the value forProcessing Capacity (per period) specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Processing Capacity (per period) group.

Constraint: the restriction specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Processing Capacity (per period) group by selecting eitherLimited To:,Meet Exactly:orCapacity Bounds by Period.

Capacity: the maximum allowed capacity per period. This is calculated using the values specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Processing Capacity (per period) group - for example, selectingMeet Exactly, and defining a value of 4000 tonnes per day for a period of seven days would result in a capacity of 28000 tonnes for this period.

Units: the units associated with the values in theCapacity,ActualandDifferencecolumns. Units are specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Processing Capacity (per period) group.

Actual: the quantity of material associated with the destination shown in theDestinationcolumn, for the period shown in thePeriodcolumn.

Difference: the difference in quantity between the values shown in theCapacityandActualcolumns in theCheck Scheduledialog. This value represents the difference between the processing capacity for the period, specified in theDestinations: [Destination]dialog,Processing Capacity (per period) group, and the actual amount of material for this period, for the relevant destination.

Start: the start date of the period which is shown in thePeriodcolumn.

Finish: the end date of the period which is shown in thePeriodcolumn.

Loader: the machine class associated with theLoadermachine type for which Period Capacity errors are displayed.

Sequence: the sequence number associated with the machine class shown in theLoadercolumn, for the period shown in thePeriodcolumn.
