MineMarket 5.6.2 helps you capture material movement more accurately, explore traceability more clearly, work with process flow diagrams more efficiently, and manage blending, contracts and despatch orders with better usability and performance.
Transaction duration is a key addition in this release, giving you the option to record both a start date/time and an end date/time for bulk material transactions. By enabling Use Transaction Duration on a process flow, you can represent the actual time taken for material to move between a source and destination, which supports more accurate stockpile state calculations. MineMarket can also use a configured default duration to calculate a missing start or end time, reducing manual entry while keeping transaction records complete.
The Transaction Editor and despatch loading and unloading tabs now show Start Date, Transaction (End) Date and read-only Duration fields, with calculation options available from the context menu. The feature is also supported through relevant AUR adaptors, B2MML imports and Excel Uploader worksheets.
Traceability is easier to access and interpret with the new Traceability Explorer, available from the Inventory ribbon tab. You can search for stockpile and despatch traceability from one place, view traceability in the explorer or open it in a new tab, and choose the display unit of measure for quantities.
The new Sankey view gives you a visual way to understand material movement, using colour-coded links between source and destination nodes, with thicker links representing larger quantities. You can also use the Diagram view to inspect analyte values, limit traceability to a selected despatch order, expand or collapse relationships, and open related objects directly.
Process flow diagrams have also been refreshed so you can understand and maintain operational flows with less effort. Updated icons better represent different object types, replacing generic box shapes and making diagrams easier to read at a glance. Separate view and edit modes make the workflow clearer: view mode lets you inspect the diagram and display stock balances at a selected date, while edit mode lets you rename or open material flows, sampling templates, locations and routes. You can also choose whether to show material flow names, route names and sample templates, save those choices per diagram, and add diagrams as task pane shortcuts.
MineMarket 5.6.2 also extends calculated blending with saved blends, a Calculated Blends Explorer, period comments, source balance persistence, and minimum, maximum and forced usage constraints. In Sales and Marketing, material types can now carry pricing basis, payable analyte settings and charges into contract creation, while the redesigned Despatch Order screen groups details, quality, despatches, trading, invoices and reports more clearly. Behind the scenes, performance enhancements reduce unnecessary processing during server startup, invoice queries and snapshot calculations, resulting in faster, more responsive day-to-day processing.
