Priority code

The priority code identifies the priority of a request or a fix. Priority codes are maintained using the table maintenance function and consists of two co-operating codes. The first occurence of the priority code is 1 character in length and the second is five characters in length. They both identify the same priority level.

OMS does not bind rules to the priority codes since they are user defined. However, several list programs and reports allow you to use the priority code to filter elements from entities where the priority code is used.

In general, when the priority code is used in a request it can be treated as the required priority. When the priority is used in a fix it can be seen as the granted priority.
