Destination

The material that is scheduled in an XPAC project is referred to as the source material, and the material placement is referred to as the destination. The source material may come from a record within the Deposit or a Stockpile. The destination may be a record in a Stockpile or a Dump or what is referred to as Product. Product can be reported for each time period at the end of a schedule, but it is not stored in XPAC records (unless a Results Database is generated).

The following table shows how the different XPAC records can be scheduled and used as destinations.

Deposit records can only be scheduled from.	- They are Source records only.
Stockpile records can be scheduled from or dumped to.	- They can be Source or Destination records.
Dump records can only be dumped to.	- They are Destination records only.

Each time a source record is scheduled in XPAC, the destination record must be known or determined. There are a number of ways in which this can be done.

•	Specify the destination as Product.

•	Specify the destination as a Stockpile and XPAC will create the required stockpile records using the stockpile characteristics that you have defined.

•	Specify the destination as a Dump Path which contains a sequence of Dump records that you have created and defined prior to running the schedule. XPAC will use the next available record in the Dump Path as the destination.

•	Specify the destination as a Main database Classified Field which contains the name of the stockpile, the dump path or the name "Product" to use as the destination.

•	Use Advanced Destination Selection to allow XPAC to determine the destination based on the constraints, objectives and dependencies that you provide. Note that this option will only be available if you have the required XPAC licence. Contact RPMGlobal for your licence details.
