Priorities

The priority object

Priority level used to order work on sales orders, purchase orders, and picks.

The levels are platform-provided and the same for every account, so they cannot be created, renamed, or removed. A customer can carry a default priority that pre-fills new orders for them.

idstring

Priority ID.

objectstringenumValues:priority

Resource type identifier.

codestringenumValues:lownormalhigh

Machine-readable code identifying the priority level.

Other resources refer to a priority by this code rather than by its ID, such as a sales order's priority, and it can be used in place of the ID when retrieving a priority.

namestring

Display name of the priority level.

Priorities are platform-provided and shared across all accounts, so the owner is always the OpenMRP system owner.
