Hi,

I can think of 2 options only:

- re-assigning the SFC to another Shop Order with different priority (but not sure if this works) or

- manual change of SFC priority via DataXchange (what is not recommended).

SFC priority is set when an SFC is released in a shop order. However if shop order priority is updated later on the SFC priority stays the same.

As a solution you may create custom functionality to change the SFC priority and then expose it as a web service or UI.

Unfortunately there is no public API to change the SFC priority. We have an OSS ticket with SAP requesting this method in API.

Temporary the workaround is to use domain services to update the priority.

Thank you for your information.

May I ask which xml of xchange can change SFC priority?

May I ask what do you mean to use domain services to update the priority?

The approach is the same as per Xchange Guide for ME 5.1.3 at SMP once no changes in 5.2:

- send EXPORT request for SFC_OBJECT;

- check PRIORITY tag there;

- change its value;

- copy-paste the structure of SFC_OBJECT to IMPORT request with mode=update.
