4. For each location listed, you can enter a priority number in the Priority boxes. If a part has more than one part substitute and Global is set to No, the part substitute location priority number determines the order in which part substitutes are used to meet the need for the original part. The lower the location priority number, the higher the substitution priority. For example, if a part has part substitutes at two locations, one location with a priority of 1 and one with a priority of 5, the part substitute location with the priority of 1 will be used first.
These location priority values override the part substitute priority values.
Note that the location priority number can be a negative value. Null values are assigned lowest priority.
