Order Priority Number
Just looked through my workbench build sheet and noticed the priority is listed as a 1. I assume this is a good thing, but does anyone know how many priorities there are and why an order would be something other than 1? Just curious. I checked the stickies and found no info. Thanks!

Mine shows a 0. I got my order allocation on 2-17-23. I was asked for my order at #635 on MM waitlist.
I have been 3000 since 2-22-23 with a TPW of 4-10-23. I will assume they will delay my build by one week due to shutdown.
Thanks

I think the orders would get allocated based on numerical order of the priority list. In your example, if a dealer had 50 allocations, and #50 was the lowest number on his priority list, numbers 50 through 99 would be allocated for production. If #1 was the lowest, then numbers 1 through 50 would be allocated. What I don’t know is if the workbench system renumbers the priority list after each allocation cycle. For instance, if you’re number 50, and numbers 1 through 49 were allocated during the last cycle, does the system re-assign you as number 1 for that dealers priority list for the next cycle? I think it probably has to, otherwise there would be some pretty high priority numbers at this point for some dealers.

Would price protection factor into the priority list one way or another?

Lots of great questions here. I handle the ordering at our dealership and its a little more complicated then what we see at a glance. Units are picked up in what we call a "Run Pass". This is where its important to evaluate constraints. If it is not done correctly a dealer can potentially loose allocation. We use priorities from 1 - 99 to indicate how they will be viewed through the run pass process. It has nothing to do with price protection. SRE or sold orders are the best to insure price protection. The number of allocations for a particular week, constraints and age of sold orders affect how we typically prioritize our orders.
