How To Fix Error: "must have values for volume, dry tonnes, and wet tonnes, or 0s in each"

When running the "Preschedule" or "Mining Block Hacking" steps in ATS, you may encounter the error "The block/parcel (Reserves/Mine/PitX/XXX/YYY/ZZZ:w) must have values for volume, dry tonnes and wet tonnes, or 0s in each"

Reasons:

• The Rapid Reserver parcel mapping did not include logic to account for blocks with no density value in the Density field of the block model
• Block Model gaps exist within the project and no Gap Fill Pre-set was created, or the Gap Fill Pre-set was not applied to the Phases in Phase Details

Both ATS and APS projects require all blocks in the Inventory Model to have values for Volume, DryTonnes and WetTonnes. If these values do not exist in all blocks, 0 must be applied.

How To Resolve:

Review Parcel Mapping in Rapid Reserver to ensure minimum allowable values for Volume, DryTonnes or WetTonnes are set to 0. 

1. Go to Rapid Reserver -> Block Model -> Edit

2. Set the minimum allowable value to 0 for one or more of the required fields (Volume, DryTonnes, WetTonnes)

Review Parcel Mapping for Volume, DryTonnes and/or WetTonnes to ensure it includes sufficient calculation logic.

1. Go to Rapid Reserver -> Block Model -> Edit

2. Edit the required field Parcel Mapping calculation, include logic in the calculation to apply 0 to the field if density is less than 0.

i.e. if Density is greater than zero then X*Y*Z else return 0, 

                                                or N("SG") > 0 ? N("DX")*N("DY")*N("DZ") * N("SG") : 0

Review Block Model Gap Filling to ensure values are present for Volume, DryTonnes, WetTonnes

1. Go to Rapid Reserver -> Block Model Gap Filling

2. Ensure the Preset includes values in the fields DryTonnes and WetTonnes

3. Go to Rapid Reserver -> Phase Details, and ensure the Gap Filling preset is applied to all relevant Phases

Once one or more of the fixes have been completed as above, Export the updated Inventory Model and Re-Import it in ATS. Review your changes in the Reserves step of ATS to ensure these changes are correct.
