More supply chain issues for Raptor - wheels and interior materials/sests are fully constrained. Ugh.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are SIMS Orders?

Excuse my ignorance, but what are SIMS Orders?

“Ford provides Dealers with a schedule for vehicle allocation each week on Monday mornings which shows how many vehicles of each model line that the Dealer has allocation for scheduling that week. That same weekly allocation report also includes information on any regional commodity issues or restrictions. On Monday afternoons, the Scheduling Toolbox Report is released which provides more detailed information on commodity issues and scheduling availability on a national basis. On Tuesday mornings, the AM Scheduling Preview Report is available to show Dealers which vehicle orders have been selected or previewed, on an initial basis, to be selected for scheduling that week. The same report is updated and available on Wednesday morning to show any changes based on commodity issues that may have changed.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Regional Scheduler issues a notice informing Dealers of the vehicle specifications available for scheduling for orders not already showing on the AM Preview Report. This provides Dealers with information on what vehicle specifications are available for scheduling should they have orders showing on the AM Preview Report that are not what the Dealer wants.

Ford generates what are called “SIMS Orders” each week which are Ford’s suggested orders based on commodity information available at the time. If a Dealer has vehicle allocation for scheduling that week and has no Dealer orders in the USOB [Unscheduled Order Banks] or orders that don’t meet the commodity restrictions in place for that week, the scheduling system will default to trying to schedule SIMS (Smart Inventory Management System) orders if they meet any commodity restrictions in place. The SIMS orders are available to Dealers online Monday mornings and in print form on Tuesday mornings. Dealers can enter their own vehicle orders or change the Ford generated SIMS orders”.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Was quite informative.

Glad mine got scheduled in the first round a couple weeks ago with no beadlocks and the leather trimmed seats.

Sounds like my Everglades I ordered in November may have a better
chance than my BB SAS I ordered in August.

Have you checked with Ford chat or called Ford direct. A lot of people with those types of builds got production weeks and VINs

Does this mean some Heritage 2dr might actually be built in February? Been waiting on mine since the Heritage was offered. RR 2 dr Heritage
