Purchase Priority

This widget is used to determine the replenishment requirements for each of the replenishment priority options.

Note: The rush priority is designated by an operator when creating a sales order. The other priorities are designated based on automatic calculations that occur during processing.

These are the seven levels of priorities:

  • Rush Order: Orders that must be expedited are assigned this priority by the operator when creating a sales order.
  • Below Critical: Products are considered to be in a critical buy situation when the purchasing net available falls below the critical point.
  • Below Order Point: This priority is assigned to product lines that contain products whose quantities are unusually low.
  • Neg Purchase Neg Availability: This priority is assigned If the net availability is less than zero for a product.
  • Doc Ties: This priority is assigned for products that are tied to other documents within the system.
  • Manual: This priority is assigned to the requirements that are added directly through the demand center.
  • Normal: This priority is assigned to purchase orders for which priority is not set.
Note:
