Using Filters
Filters can be used to provide extra constraint options, in addition to material Category Constraints, to controlling which material is sent to a destination i.e. in defining Standard Constraints. The Filters panel allows you to create a set of filter expressions (or formulae) that use the variables in the Block Reserves table in conjunction with a number of standard operators.
In the example shown in the image below, filters could be used to exclude material from a particular pit being sent to a particular destination.
The relevant filter is then associated with a particular destination using the DestinationGeneral Settings panel (Constrain by Filter group), e.g.:
