That's my TPW. Mine said Apr.13-19, probably because the actual work week ens Sunday Apr. 19. I am also being told that any changes need to be submitted by nest Tuesday. Does that sound right? I currently have Code 2000. I'm guessing that means it gets pulled Tuesday to code 2500.


Order status codes:
1100 = Preliminary Order (Order passed GM edit tables but dealers has not received allocation to place order)
2000 = Accepted By GM (Dealer used allocation to place order into production)
2500 = Preferenced (Order pulled to the production system)
3000 = Accepted By Production Control (Order input into the production system)
3100 = Sequenced (Order sequenced for Production)
3300 = Scheduled For Production (Order is scheduled into the plant build cycle)
3400 = Broadcast (Order is sent to various build & supplier areas to bring order together)
3800 = Produced (Order is built and VIN# shows in the Dealer Order system now)
4150 = Invoiced (Order is invoiced to the dealer)
4200 = Shipped (Vehicle is shipped to the dealer or point of delivery)
5000 = Delivered To Dealer
6000 = Delivered To Customer

What's up CWIweldace? My dealer said he thought mine would be pulled next Thursday. Tuesday, Thursday, either way we'd better have our orders straight by Monday.

And his response:



I'm not sure if he means my TPW should be 4/2 (which doesn't really make sense) or my order won't get pulled until 4/2 (seems a long time away since I am first in line here) to be scheduled for production. For the record I ordered a 1LT/RS.

That would be the week when he will have an allocation to place an order for your car. You will not get a TPW for a couple of weeks. The system works a little funny at SOP.

Why wouldn't he have allocation to place the order this week? The allocation/consensus just came out a couple of days ago and I am number one on the list.

The consensus for April builds was first week of March. He probably had to fill those April build allocations with V8's or lose em. Now he has to wait for the April consensus for May builds so your order can be taken.

My guess anyway.

I'm in the same situation. I am #3 on the list while #1 & #2 were built in march. So, that told me I would be first in April. Well, after looking through their workbench papers, I discovered that, although I am next in line, they simply were not given an allocation for any April builds. It didn't make any since, but there it was, and no one could change that. The next weekly allocation they have is on 4/9. That will give me a build week of last week in april, or first week in may. Up until the week of 4/9, their system shows '0' for each week of consensus.

So, even though you are the next one in line, it will just have to wait until they have a weekly consensus for it. They should be able to pull that up for the next 4 weeks though. I believe it's called the consensus report. It lists all their cars and their weekly consensus numbers. The Camaro will be in there somewhere with them.

But you can't put orders through with just allocation. That's just the total number for the month, not the specific number per week. You don't submit the full month's orders in one day. You submit them per week.

The orders are already submitted at event code 1100. All the dealer does after that is prioritize the orders. They don't do any submitting after that. GM just takes the orders by priority based on monthly consensus and then GM sends out the weekly allocation report to the dealer.
