Destination Logic describes the resting place of material at the end of the period.
Once an Agent picks a block from the ranked blocks list, it needs to put it somewhere as per the Destination Logic, where for each scheduling period we are telling the software final resting place of material if that block is picked.

Rules are created for the optimiser to know a Destination where Material can go.

Destination Rules Filters

Code Filters | May differentiate destinations by some custom logic. | Requires scripting. More details see here. | ||
Period Filters | May differentiate pre- and post- plant commissioning. | |||
Agent Filters | May differentiate autonomous and crewed tipheads. | StockpileReclaimer is a default Agent created by the software to reclaim from stockpiles Stockpiles to feed the Crusher. It doesn’t work in a pit and should be unticked from the list of Expit Agents, and used for Stockpiles Rehandle only. | ||
Source and Parcel Filters | May differentiate ore and waste sources by pit. Agents evaluate whether the record source/parcel being mined is included in the list. | Ensure every Material from every Source has a Destination. See the notes on the Destinations order in the section above. | ||
Destination Options | Constrain the rule to particular destinations. Agents evaluate which destination in the list is available. |

Notes and Recommendations
It there is no Destination Logic rule that covers a transaction, that Source to Destination movement won’t be able to take place.
To make it easier to manage the material flows and troubleshoot in case of scheduling errors, it is recommended to use folders for each group of movements.
Create an overarching folder for the Expit movements for each pit,
Create a folder for the Stockpiles reclaim to each destination.
When specifying applicable source parcels, use the space bar to flag/unflag the selection, or use Parcel Subsets preconfigured in the Reserved tab.
...
When an Agent generates a new schedule transaction, it reads through the Destination Logic list from top to bottom, and applies the first rule that satisfies all filters. This means that if two rules have overlapping conditions, only the first rule will ever execute for that set of conditions.
Overlapping Rules
Advanced users may occasionally create "nested" destination rules. This means a list of two or three rules with successively broader conditions, so that if the first condition is missed, then the second condition is evaluated, and so on.
...
Rules can be imported and exported from projects using the floppy disk and folder buttons located in the toolbar.
Collapse or Expand expand all folders using Expand/Collapse icon.
Use Search and Replace tool to find and replace items. Select items from the lists and read the tips provided.
