Use this activity to set up the different priority rules to be used on a site. The priorities are used when processing the reservation order during automatic order processing or when scheduling shop orders using the Advanced Planning Board. The Adjustment Factor field, specify the factor to be used to adjust the priority of orders. A higher percentage increases the priority of an order, while a lower percentage has the opposite effect.
MSO priority index will be used when MSO solution is used for shop order finite scheduling. In MSO Automatic, Static or Static Selective scheduling, the user can prioritize a shop order using this value. This makes MSO scheduling logic to prefer the prioritize shop order to be scheduled in most valued time bucket. If the order is forward scheduled then the time bucket just after the earliest possible start time is the most desired while for backward scheduling case the most desired time bucket is just before the need date. If multiple shop order operations has same likelihood of occupying a time slot, the prioritized one based on this value MSO Priority Index will get more likely hood of scheduling to those time slot than the other one which is prioritized lower or not prioritized at all. .
This activity requires that a shop order exists.
As a result of this activity the system defines the different priority rules used for a shop order and that will affect shop order scheduling processes.
