Method and system for master planning priority assignment
First Claim
1. A method for performing master planning priority assignment, the method comprising:
- assigning a priority to a demand record, said demand record containing a demand record attribute field and a demand record priority field;
said assigning including;
identifying a rule database, said rule database including at least one record, a rule database attribute field that correlates to said demand record attribute field, and a rule database priority field;
querying said rule database for a corresponding rule database record that contains data in said rule database attribute field that matches data in said demand record attribute field; and
updating data in said demand record priority field with data from said corresponding rule database priority field.

Abstract
A method and system for performing master planning priority assignment is presented. The method includes assigning a priority to a demand record that contains at least one demand attribute and a priority field. The assignment includes identifying a database that contains priority assignment rules for demand records and then querying the rule database to find the database record that corresponds to the particular demand record. The corresponding database record is found by matching the data in the attribute fields in the rule database and the demand record. The priority associated with the matching priority database record is assigned to the demand record. Additional embodiments include a system and storage medium for performing master planning priority assignment.
