Documentation
Definition
Specifies the priority for mode selection.
Use
You can assign an activity to different modes, which means different primary resources on which the activity can be carried out. These alternatives are not usually of the same value: The capacity of a fast, costly special machine should be utilized before that of the slower, less costly, replacement machine.
Thus, you assign priorities to the modes (that is, the alternative resources) in PDS maintenance. The system schedules these alternatives according to these priorities. A mode with priority A has the highest priority, a mode with priority B has the next highest priority (and so on, up to priority O).
Assign priority Z to a mode when you want to schedule the respective resource only manually in the planning board. You manually schedule resources, for example, that you want to use only in exceptional cases for production, for test or training machines, for example.
