Set Up Priority Rule(s) per Site
Explanation
Use this activity to set up the priority rules that will be used on a site. The system
will use these rules when you process the reservation order during automatic order
processing or schedule the shop orders using Constraint Based Scheduling. This
is especially important when the need/due dates of several shop orders fall on
the same date, to determine the relative importance of shop orders.
Prerequisites
A manufacturing site must exist.

As a result of this activity:
- You define priority rules for shop orders
that will be used on a site.
