Prioritizing a Work Order

About Prioritizing a Work Order

Priority is the order in which the work order is executed. When you assign a priority to a work order, the work order with the highest priority is executed first on a Production Line where, 1 denotes the highest priority and 0 denotes the lowest priority.
  • You can prioritize a work order in the Ready or the In Progress status on the Production Line.
  • You cannot prioritize a work order in the Completed status.

Prioritize a Work Order

Procedure

  1. In the Order Management page, select a line in the Line drop-down list box.
    The Released page appears, displaying a list of work orders associated with the selected line.
  2. In the Released page, select a work order that you want to prioritize.
  3. In the Priority box, enter a value for the priority of the work order.
    Note: The quantity must be a positive integer, where 1 denotes the highest priority and 0 denotes the lowest priority. If you do not enter a value in the PRIORITY box for a work order, a message appears indicating that you must enter a value.
    Tip: You can also specify the priority by accessing the work order details and selecting .
  4. Optional: Select to manually refresh the work orders in the Released page after you prioritize a work order. This will sort the list again to display in the order of the updated priority.
    The Released page displays a list of work orders in the table in the In Progress status with an ascending sort applied in the ACT START field followed by those in the Ready status with an ascending sort applied by priority and then by the date in the PLAN START field (the field values of the oldest work orders appear first in the grid table).

Results

The selected work order is prioritized.
