ScottK1 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Why in the world are you asking about COVP? It's totally irrelevant now that you have a VIN and build date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 This information is completely wrong, Ford has always separated stock orders (20-99) from retail (customer) orders (10-19). The only thing COVP does is allow Ford to prioritize retail orders and bypass the normal dealer allocation rules. It also prevents dealers from playing games with fake customer orders. Please leave the details to ice-capades. You’re just confusing people. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) 2021 Ford Customer Order Verification for Priority Scheduling and Allocation (Revised 06/09/2021) WHAT IS HAPPENING • The Customer Order Verification Program (COVP) will be opening to all unscheduled orders on all vehicle lines (excluding Mach-E, Bronco and specialty units) • Verified orders will receive priority scheduling and will receive incremental allocation • The required documentation for COVP approval will again require a signed and dated buyers order along with a copy of the customer’s driver’s license. A WBDO Screenshot or DORA is no longer adequate documentation for approval. • Any previously approved retails will not have to be resubmitted SUMMARY Dealers will be able to utilize the existing COVP website on https:// to register retail orders for all vehicle lines (excluding Mach-E, Bronco and specialty units). Verified orders will receive priority scheduling and will receive incremental allocation. Vehicles that are not verified will still be scheduled but will be scheduled within the dealer’s regularly earned allocation. Note that while this program utilizes the same process as the Retail Order Incentive, only previously communicated vehicle lines are eligible for the incentive. Please check SmartVINCENT for incentive eligibility. Retail Order Prioritization Violations This program is built on trust and cooperation between Ford and our dealer partners. There will be a zero-tolerance policy for dealers if it is determined that false retail orders were submitted in order to receive incremental allocation. The program will be audited by a third party to ensure consistency and compliance. One violation will result in the dealership being excluded from the Retail Order Prioritization program moving forward. ELIGIBLE VEHICLE LINES All vehicle lines (excluding Mach-E, Bronco and specialty units) are eligible for verification and incremental allocation through the COVP process. • Mustang (Non GT500 or Mach 1) • EcoSport • Escape • Edge • Bronco Sport • Explorer • Expedition • Transit • Transit Connect • Ranger • F150 • Super Duty COVP PROCESS • Customer places eligible retail order through their local dealership • Dealership will enter retail order into COVP website located at https:// Edited October 28, 2021 by ice-capades Format 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob - the frustrating part is this has been posted and discussed at least 4 or 5 times (maybe a lot more) over the last few months. In this case a search for COVP would have shown that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbushardjr Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Is there a way for us as the customer to know if our order was COVP approved? I know the way trucks are scheduled is a mystery but it seems odd that I am seeing so many trucks ordered after mine get build dates. I ordered a Lariat F350 6.7 on 8-31 (I understand there are many before me also waiting) only thing that I have that’s been in the commodity restrictions is the gooseneck/fifth wheel prep.

This makes it very clear why my dealer needed my DL and a deposit. He gave my order a priority code 10. The more one learns the better it gets.
