Definitions of DORA, VOC, etc.
I've done a search on the board and can't find a concise description of the following terms and what I should be looking for.
DORA - Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement
VOC - Vehicle Order Confirmation
"Price Level"
"Order Type"
Could someone please explain what these are and what I should be looking for? For example, I know you want a low number (like a 10) for the "Priority".

VOC- just a confirmation of receipt of the order. happens before a DORA is generated.
Price Level- determines the FDAF (advertising), markup structure, among other things. It's just informational, really.
Order type- variety of possibilities here- retail stock, retail sold, fleet, dealer demonstrator, national rental repurchase, municipal/government purchase...
I don't know what you are looking for- all these codes are really just for factory processing and dealer information- they don't change the pricing level of the car/truck. Example, a fleet unit that gets sold "retail" will generate a supplemental or new invoice balancing out the difference, removing any advantageous pricing. Conversely, a retail unit that gets delivered fleet will generate additional factory credits.
Priority codes- will mean nothing to you unless you see the entire order bank the dealer has for that allocation group. For example, a priority of 10 means nothing if there's 20 other priority 10's sitting in front of the order (they're stacked by date recieved, by default). The priority will still not determine how the orders are selected- for example, a V6 Mustang with a priority of 30 could easily be placed into production before a GT with a priority of 10, because of build constraints.
edit: a single-digit priority code (under 10) means someone (or, more accurately, something) has picked this order and is preparing to place it into production schedule. This is generated by Ford- dealers can't assign priorities lower than 10.
