Fixed and user defined order priorities
The system requires some order types to be planned in a specific sequence (depending on the order's type, status, and whether it has been scheduled in the Scheduler). Such orders are given a negative priority; you cannot change the priority of those orders. Orders with negative priorities are all job orders, purchase orders, and purchase requisitions.
The table below lists the various order types with their priorities. "User defined" means you can control the order priority on the APS Order Priority form.
| SyteLine Order | Internal ID | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Customer order (EDI) | EDI | User defined |
| Customer order (via the web) | EC | User defined |
| Customer order (SyteLine) | COD | User defined |
| Forecast | FRD | User defined |
| Job/PS order (firm) | JOB | -20 |
| Job/PS order (released | JOB | -40 |
| Master Production Schedule | MPD | User defined |
| PO | POS | -30 |
| PO Requisition | PRS | -30 |
| Project | PJD | User defined |
| Safety Stock | SSD | User defined * |
| Transfer Order | TRD | User defined |
* Although the Safety Stock type appears as a user-defined type on the form, the system ignores the value you define for it. The system always plans safety stock demand after it processes all other demand types.
