The advanced preference score method enables you to set up priority scores using advanced preference functionality. The system calculates the score for the order lines using the weight factors and determines a weighted average. The system calculates the score using the formula:
Score = [(Order Type Priority × Order Type Weighted Percent) + (Line Type Priority × Line Type Weighted Percent) + (Requested Date Priority × Requested Date Age Weighted Percent) + (Customer Priority × Customer Weighted Percent) + (Custom Business Function Priority × Custom Business Weighted Percent)].
If you use advanced preferences to score the sales order detail lines, you must ensure the preferences are included in the preference schedule that is specified in the version of the Sales Order Score Batch Processing program (R4277702).
