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.
