How does Allocation play into everything?

[Hyfly11]

Im sorry if this is a stupid question but I hear a lot about Reservation date, order submission date, constraints on certain items, etc.
How exactly does a 'dealer allocation' play into all of this?
If I just submitted an order this week with a dealer that has available allocations does that push me ahead of orders that were in before me with dealers that don't have a available allocations?
Seems like there are tons of different things that play into this which contradict each other.
Is the reservation stamp only important if the dealer actually has allocations?

Any simple explanation is much appreciated. Hoping someone can dumb this down for me.
Thank you

We've had a few discussions about this. No one really knows the specific details about how priority is given for orders. In another thread, I made my best guess:

1. Supply chain (what's available to build within the current constraints right now)
2. Manufacturing efficiency (most common/like models that can be built together)
3. Geography (allocating for greatest shipping efficiency-includes dealer allocation process)
4. Order date (after all else have been accounted for, there may be some priority given to early orders-this also includes order priority code given by your dealer)

Thank you! That is a great help!

No problem, but keep in mind, I'm basically just pulling it out of my @ss.
