Auto-Prioritize a Production Order
Scheduler provides the capability for you to auto-prioritize all the production orders for a single work center or machine center. When you auto-prioritize the production orders, the production orders are reorganized based on the selected criteria. To see an example of how Auto-Prioritize works in Scheduler, see Walkthrough: Auto-Prioritize.
