Role Of Position And Priority In User Statuses

Explain the role of position and priority in user statuses with examples. 

Answer:

Position:

This is in User Status Overview - Equipment Master Header screen.

There are 6 different User Statuses.

BRDN Under Breakdown 1 1

FAB UNDER FABRICATION 1 2

INOP In Operation 1 3

REPR Under Repair 2 2

SCRP Scrapped 2 3

STBY Standby 2 1

If you select FAB, STBY & SCRP, in overview screen, FAB will come first, then STBY. SCRP status will not be displayed.

So in Status overview, based on position hierarchy, statuses will be displayed. FAB STBY
 

As FAB is having 1 position, FAB has been displayed first. STBY is having position 2. So its next. But STBY is having priority as 1. But SCRP is having priority as 3. So only FAB & STBY will be displayed. SCRP will not be displayed.

Please try with different Position & Priority. You can come to know the difference & use.
 

Also in Change Status screen, you can find the difference based on position & priority. In the above case, it should be like this.

Example 2

BRDN Under Breakdown 1 1

FAB UNDER FABRICATION 1 2

INOP In Operation 1 3

In Change Status, status line screen, the list will be like in this order.

BRDN Under Breakdown
