Sales Code is just the dealer number in Ford's system. Order code is order specific.

For anyone here do the terms "lpoe dealer" or " dre dealer" mean anything to you? Context: I'm in the process of building an automated tool that scan's ford's Public Website/API for inventory cars/trucks along with prices/options/ trims/days on lot/ status, etc Ford has an incredible amount of data via their ford.com inventory APIs so just for fun, I'm building a system that takes a daily snapshot of what their US inventory looks like so I can dive into the data for some personal fun, if it's interesting and not against any rules, I may share the aggregated data at some point but for now, just a personal project at the intersection of two of my favorite things, Fords and technology. Back to the Question: In the public API for inventory searches, there are two metadata points that exist on every dealer record that I can't seem to decipher, so looking for some folks who can point me in the right direction. For each dealer's detailed information there are two fields that stump me: dredealer lpoedealer Each is either marked TRUE or FALSE, and given I know my local dealers pretty well, I can't seem to figure out what would make one of them one option or the other, they don't appear to signify "Roush" or "Shelby" dealers, or anything easy I can think of, they're also probably not EV related since there are other fields clear as day that mark dealers as "EV Ready" etc. So if you happen to know or care to speculate, happy to learn. Disclaimer: The information I'm looking at is public, and it's used to generate the pages you see when you load (https://shop.ford.com/inventory/) but if anything about this post breaks any rules please feel free to delete or I'm happy to remove at request. Cheers,

Thank You! I'll leave my dealer alone and cross my fingers that Flat Rock starts scheduling again soon. Cheers,

Hello All, I've seen conflicting information across a number of forums and hope that the knowledge here can give me some clarity. I currently have an "order" for a MY22 GT500 which currently sits as a "stock" order with a Priority Code of 01. But as I understand it, this means that it's a "dealer order" for their own "stock" even though it's "for me" as the dealer would say, they knew they would order this car, but since I gave them a deposit when it gets in it's mine. Trouble is, I am seeing/hearing/being told that Ford is currently prioritizing orders that are "Retail" since they are customer orders and not just dealer inventory, various folks have asked me to get my dealer to change the order from stock to retail. The dealer is in a small town, and when I ask they tell me it's "impossible" to change the order from Stock to Retail. Given that I have a priority code of 01, and the dealer either doesn't know how, or doesn't want to, should I even worry about this? Anyone know if Ford is glossing over my order since they think it's for dealer stock or should I be happy and patient with my 01 priority? Cheers,
