	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Order priority simulations help you calculate the priority sequence in which inventory is allocated to orders.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For example, if insufficient inventory is available, you can use a priority simulation to calculate the priority sequence in which inventory is allocated to orders.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can select six fields for each code to sort <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SalesOrder.td" role="glossary" Update="No">sales orders</Link>. SSA ERP takes the default fields from the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SlsOrderLns.td" role="glossary">sales order lines</Link> table, but you can also use fields from sales orders and <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#BusinePartne.tc" role="glossary">business partners</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Before inventory is allocated, you must accept the results of the simulation. You can modify these results before accepting them.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0100s400#tdsls000.opri.4" role="formfield">Order Priority Method</GUIRef> is set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.opri#delivery.date" role="enum">Delivery Date</GUIRef> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0100s400" role="session">Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400)</GUIRef> session, the order priority is filled with the planned delivery date. No use is made of the simulations.</Paragraph>
