The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

[imdubious]

OK Guys this thread is the NO B.S. thread on the status of 2013 orders.
The rules are as your orders progress you post the progress with the Scanned FordMoCo documentation in your post. This is so there is no mix up on info or just some dealer blowing smoke on the status of our truck orders. The goal would be to have a single source of info on the orders. This will help us and others to sort through the B.S. some dealer are saying. The other reason for the FordMoCo proof I so we don’t get mad at our dealer based on bad info.


I will update the first post as confirmed info get posted.

Priority 13 is not good. Have your dealer bump it to priority 10 ASAP.

Mine says 99. That REALLY can't be good.

It all depends on your dealers size.

This is not correct. They could give it a priority 10 if they want to. Here is a thorough explanation of priority codes from a Ford dealer:

"Priority Codes. This is listed on the far right upper portion of a DORA. Its also on the dealers print outs of order status. This only applies until a unit is scheudled. Once assigned a VIN this doesn't mean anything anymore.

The codes start at 1 and run to 99. A dealer can only assign between 10 and 99. A 99 order can't be schuduled. I use these for people that tell me to get them a unit on date (later than normal orders take). I put in a 99'd order so I have what they wanted in the system and don't forget about it and then change it to a buildable priority when time comes they're ready for the truck. The region (or other Ford divisions) can prioritize below 10, I've only seen a 01 priority below 10. They do this in the event of something unusual, most orders never see a priority 01. An example is if they're manually scheduling (like the First F-150 for each dealer, or first year T Birds) or if its something that needs to be urgent (first order destroyed in shipping, etc). Again I normally only see this a few times a year. Also if you do get a priority 01, things usually get scheduled fast even if you have some hard to get commodites (but not hold items). More on commodities later. I believe that the under 10 prioritys go first through the allocation system.

Other priorities are to organize what order the dealer wants the trucks in. These only affect that dealer and have no bearing on other dealers. If a dealer only uses 50 or higher, another dealer that starts at 10 won't get his trucks any sooner. This system is to organize the order so they are "in a row" for scheduling. That way in the first pass of scheduling they only look at 1 truck per dealer, then on second pass look at 2nd one. Regardless of what the number actually is. If 50's the lowest at dealer a and 10's my lowest, they are both in the first pass, and are equal to each other.

More than one order can have the same priority. If this happens they system looks at order types and then order date. Retails take priority over stock and oldest takes priority. For example:

order 1234 Retail order date 9/3/03
order 4321 Retail order date 5/5/03
order 5555 Stock order date 4/4/03
The Retail orders take priority and then oldest order comes first. So the system would look at these in this order:
Order 4321 because its the oldest retail at this priority
order 1234 2nd as its a retail
order 5555 being a stock order its 2nd despite order date.

Also Priority can override stock, retail or order date. If a retail is priority 20 and a stock is 19, the stock tries to schedule first, the retail and date thing only applies to orders with the same priority number.

So the big thing I want everyone to know is don't get too worried if your not a priority 01 as this is very rare, also don't worry if your not at priority 10, I start my retail ordes at 20 so I've got some room if something comes up that I need to prioritize under my current orders I can."

are those scanned confirmations something that the dealer generates or ford motor co? I purchased 1 month ago and only have the dealer purchase contract. Should I have one of those confirmations by now?

That confirmation is called a DORA, which stands for Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgment. Ask you dealer for it, they can print it out.
