Returns the supply priority for a single product. This is a value that indicates the relative ordering priority of items. For example, a person creating orders should ensure that "Core Range" items are ordered before considering "Retiring" items.
Supply priority is intentionally limited to a small set of values so as not to overly complicate the ordering process
Potential return values are:
- Core Range - Product is a priority item for some reason, indicating more important than general items
- General - This is a general product, part of the main group of products
- On Special - The product is on special, so has a temporary highlight status
- Other - Exact meaning of other is left to individual retailers to use as they wish
- Retiring - This product is lower priority than general items, they are being phased out
The priority value is similar to product.supply.importance but used in a slightly different manner. You can have several products on importance=1, but with priorities of Core, General, Retiring. The priority is typically used to highlight and colour code items on ordering screens, while importance is used to sort into order
