Description

PRIORITY TYPE CODE is the same as attribute PRIORITY TYPE.

PRIORITY TYPE CODES can be defined more precisely if this is needed for local purposes, as long as the classifications can be mapped back to the National Codes.

PRIORITY TYPE CODE will be replaced with SERVICE REQUEST PRIORITY TYPE, which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
