Site Variables and Manufacturing Process Model Version Upgrades

Note: The manufacturing process model version (also called “cost model version” and abbreviated "CMV") for a given process group is distinct from the aPriori release version for a given deployment. It is possible, and indeed common, for a deployment to upgrade to a new release of aPriori, while continuing to use older, configured versions of the manufacturing process models for various process groups.

When you upgrade to a newer version (CMV) of a manufacturing process mode, you are responsible for ensuring that any previous edits to site variable values that you made for your older CMV are also made to the newer CMV, if they are relevant to the newer version as well as the older version.

In the Process Group Site Variables tool, modified values are displayed in orange and there is an orange, triangular icon in the upper right corner of their cells. When you hover over a modified value, a tool tip displays the current, value, default value, and an optional comment:
