Adjustments

Adjustments Example

Overview​

The Stockpile Adjustments module in TytonIQ provides a record of all changes to stockpile volumes across a site. This includes creation events, allocations for topsoil applications, and reconciliations following topsoil surveys. By maintaining a complete history of adjustments, the module ensures transparency, traceability, and compliance across rehabilitation projects.

Adjustment Events​

Three event types are recorded in the Stockpile Adjustments table:

  • Initial Creation
    The first entry for each stockpile. This establishes the starting volume at the point of registration in TytonIQ.

  • Topsoil Application
    When topsoil from a stockpile is allocated to a rehabilitation polygon, the corresponding volume reduction is recorded as a topsoil application event.

  • Topsoil Reconciliation
    Reconciliation events occur when updated survey data is uploaded and compared with existing stockpile records.
    Example: If stockpile ABC-001 was recorded with 1,000 m³ but a topsoil survey shapefile reports an updated volume of 400 m³, a reconciliation adjustment of 600 m³ will be displayed.

Table Fields​

Each adjustment entry contains the following fields:

  • Date Adjusted – The date the adjustment was recorded.
  • Event – Type of adjustment (Initial Creation, Topsoil Application, Topsoil Reconciliation).
  • Stockpile Name – Identifier of the stockpile affected.
  • Volume Before (m³) – The recorded stockpile volume prior to the adjustment.
  • Volume After (m³) – The recorded stockpile volume after the adjustment.
  • Volume Changed (m³) – The net difference between the before and after values.
  • Footprint (ha) – Updated footprint area where applicable.
  • Comments – Optional notes associated with the adjustment.

Usage​

The Stockpile Adjustments view allows users to:

  • Audit all stockpile events across the site.
  • Verify consistency between allocations, reconciliations, and inventories.
  • Export the adjustments table for reporting and compliance purposes.

Summary​

The Stockpile Adjustments module provides a transparent, auditable history of stockpile changes. By capturing creation, usage, and reconciliation events, it enables accurate tracking of resources, improves reporting reliability, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.
