Configuring material priorities

The priorities of a material are used to select a container of material that you want to use first; for example, a container that has the oldest material needs to be used before newer materials. In the
Priorities
 column, the default priority value is
100
. The allowed values are 1 to 100, with 1 being the lowest value, which is selected first. You can assign as many priorities per container as needed. If the container with the value of
1
 runs out of material, the next priority for that container is used.
The
Priorities
 tab displays area model data, which is loaded into the material database by a
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server during start up. If no information is visible, then the database does not contain the area model data.
  1. From the
    Edit Material
     dialog box, select the
    Priorities
     tab. Existing containers assigned to the material display in ascending order by container name. You can sort the list by clicking the column header to display an up arrow (ascending) or down arrow (descending).
