Expedite Value

In addition to controlling scheduling order of Work Orders with a priority, the Scheduler has the ability to adjust scheduling order an Expedite value. Expediting not only places a higher scheduling priority on them, but marks them throughout all reports so they get special attention.

Name	Description	Value
None	There is no special expedite for the work order, no emphasis for special handling, and it is scheduled according to its usual priority.	0
Expedite	This value indicates a work order is to have expedited status, however no change in scheduling occurs; it is primary a visual alert for execution.	1
Drop Buffers	All buffers in the rope, including the constraint buffers, are removed. This means that the order has no time-flex at all to make its due date.	2
Priority Overload	In addition to removing buffers, an order which is a priority overload simply overlays itself in the schedule with no regard to the loading of constrained resources.	3

Final Buffer Value

Name	Description
Shipping	The Shipping Buffer as the final buffer.	0
