# Creating Priority Codes

Priority Codes help ensure that the most urgent orders are fulfilled first. Creating priority codes involves the priority code details, such as name, code, number, and color. Once the priority code is created, it can be assigned to the waves and used to determine the picking process.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create the priority code, go to Menu > Warehouse > Picking > Priority Code
{% endhint %}

In the Priority Code module, enter the following details:

* **Name:** This field allows you to enter the name for the priority code, such as "High", "Low", "Medium", etc.
* **Code:** This field allows you to enter a code that acts as a unique identifier for the priority code. 
* **Priority Number:** This field allows you to enter a numerical value to determine the order of importance for the priority. The higher the number, the higher the priority. 
* **Color Hex:** This field allows you to enter a hexadecimal code and add a color to associate and represent the priority code. For example, you can use "#FF0000" for High Priority (red), "#FFFF00" for Medium Priority (yellow), "#00FF00" for Low Priority (green). Alternatively, you can click on the color box to select the color for the priority code.

After filling in the details, click "Save" to create the priority code.
