		<Paragraph>SSA ERP prints the data in the order specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc1410m000#prio.form" role="formfield">Print Priority</GUIRef> field. You can also set limits for the criterion specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc1410m000#prio.form" role="formfield">Print Priority</GUIRef> field. For example, you can print all production orders which are more than five days behind schedule.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>You can sort the data by one of the following criteria:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#cr" role="enum">Critical Ratio</GUIRef>
			</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#edd" role="enum">Earliest Due Date</GUIRef>
			</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#pcpo" role="enum">Priority of Prdn Order</GUIRef>

			</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#cr" role="enum">Critical Ratio</GUIRef> criterion is the ratio of the number of days available for production until the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000017" role="glossary">delivery date</Link>, against the number of days needed for production. If <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#cr" role="enum">Critical Ratio</GUIRef> is less than 1, the production order is behind schedule.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#edd" role="enum">Earliest Due Date</GUIRef> criterion is the time left up to the production order's delivery date.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#pcpo" role="enum">Priority of Prdn Order</GUIRef> criterion is the value of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0101s000#tisfc001.prcd" role="formfield">Priority</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0101s000" role="session">Production Orders (tisfc0101s000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#stpt" role="enum">Shortest Total Rem.Prd.Tm</GUIRef> criterion is the total number of days still required to work on a production order. You can use this to print orders which are almost finished.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#st" role="enum">Slack Time</GUIRef> criterion equals the number of days available for production until the delivery date minus the number of days needed for production. If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/sfc.prio#cr" role="enum">Critical Ratio</GUIRef> is negative, the production order is behind schedule.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0101s000#tisfc001.prcd" role="formfield">Priority</GUIRef> is also used to decide which order to return a tool to.</Paragraph>
