Production order priority

Use the Print Production Order Planning by Priority (tisfc1410m000) session to identify production orders, work centers, machines, or tasks that require special attention.

LN prints the data in the order specified in the Print Priority field. You can also set limits for the criterion specified in the Print Priority field. For example, you can print all production orders which are more than five days behind schedule.

You can sort the data by one of the following criteria:

• Critical Ratio
• Earliest Due Date
• Priority of Prdn Order
• Shortest Total Rem.Prd.Tm
• Slack Time

The Critical Ratio criterion is the ratio of the number of days available for production until the delivery date, against the number of days needed for production. If Critical Ratio is less than 1, the production order is behind schedule.

The Earliest Due Date criterion is the time left up to the production order's delivery date.

The Priority of Prdn Order criterion is the value of the Priority field in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) session.

The Shortest Total Rem.Prd.Tm criterion is the total number of days still required to work on a production order. You can use this to print orders which are almost finished.

The Slack Time criterion equals the number of days available for production until the delivery date minus the number of days needed for production. If the Critical Ratio is negative, the production order is behind schedule.

For more information, see the online help for the Print Production Order Planning by Priority (tisfc1410m000) session.

The Priority is also used to decide which order to return a tool to.
