Field List
Take care that some fields are reported as averages, not sums.
For example, HaulageResult.Distances.Total will give the average cycle time distance, not the total distance travelled.

Original Source / Final Destination
A single schedule transaction (Source + Destination) may be one step in a series of transactions generated by the Steps Logic. Original Source and Final Destination refer to where the material originated at the beginning of the period and rested at the end of the period, outside of the current transaction.
Example:
| Destination Logic | Steps Logic | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original Source | Final Destination | Step | Source | Destination |
| Pit | Crusher | 1 | Pit | ROM |
| Pit | Crusher | 2 | ROM | Crusher |
| Pit | Crusher | 3 | Pit | Crusher |
Demonstration of how "Pit to Crusher" can be broken down into 3 steps via the Steps Logic.
Be extremely wary of double-counting when using Original Source / Final Destination fields.
Observe from the above image that filtering by "Final Destination = Crusher" would double-count tonnes passing through the ROM.
Source Type / Destination Type
A single schedule transaction (Source + Destination) may be one step in a series of transactions generated by the Steps Logic.
| Field | Value | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Source Type | True | Source = Original Source |
| Source Type | Mock | Source <> Original Source |
| Destination Type | True | Destination = Final Destination |
| Destination Type | Mock | Destination <> Final Destination |
The 'Type' fields can be used to quickly differentiate between Direct (single-step logic) and Auto-Rehandle (multi-step logic) type movements.
Output Fields
Output fields display the final products grades when a parcel is dumped in the crusher. Any reporting on final product should be done using the Output fields.
To prevent double-counting, always filter by Destination.Dumps = Crushers when reading the Output fields.
Output grades are displayed on any transaction where the Final Destination is a crusher (even if the Destination is only the ROM, per Steps Logic).
Mutex Fields
Mutex fields (Mutually Exclusive categories) are classification fields that have been created in Tactical Scheduler,
- in Reserves tab > Data panel > Parcel Subsets > Mutex Parcel Groups, and
- in Setup > Stockpiles > Stockpile Mutex Subsets.
These are useful for answering questions such as "how many tonnes on all ROM stockpiles", or "how many tonnes of rock type X went to crusher". Under the Mutex groups we can classify different ROM stockpiles together, or different rock types together, and so on.
See also: ATS Subset Variables.
Level Names
Tactical Scheduler uses Level Names to refer to the hierarchy of locations in pits, dumps, stockpiles and crushers. By default, the level name fields are drawn from the table levels in Setup > Create Tables.
This can be a source of confusion, since Dumps, Stockpiles and Crushers store different information at different levels in their names.
| Destination Level | Destination Name Part | Level Number | Dumps | Stockpiles | Crushers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Destination.Dumps | Destination.NamePart1 | 0 | "Dumps" | "Stockpiles" | "Crushers" |
| Destination.Mine | Destination.NamePart2 | 1 | "Mine1" | "ROM1" | "CR1" |
| Destination.Dump | Destination.NamePart3 | 2 | "Dump1" | "WtAvg" | - |
| Destination.Lift | Destination.NamePart4 | 3 | "600" | - | - |
| Destination.Block | Destination.NamePart5 | 4 | "001" | - | - |
| Destination.Top | Destination.NamePart1 | 0 | "Dumps" | "Stockpiles" | "Crushers" |
| Destination.Name | Destination.NamePart2 | 1 | "Mine1" | "ROM1" | "CR1" |
Pits
- Destination.<Level> returns that level name from the OpenPit database table.
Dumps
- Destination.<Level> returns that level name from the Dumps database table.
Stockpiles
- Destination.Top returns "Stockpiles" from Level 0.
- Destination.Name returns the stockpile name from Level 1.
- Destination.NamePart3 returns
- the finger number on FIFO/LIFO stockpiles.
- "WtAvg" on weight-averaged stockpiles.
Crushers
- Destination.Top returns "Crushers" from Level 0.
- Destination.Name returns the crusher name from Level 1.
Equivalent Flat Haul
Contact Alastri support to add Equivalent Flat Haul (EFH) as a custom report field to your organisation's specification.
Since there is no industry standard defined calculation for EFH, it is not included in the default reporting fields.
