Precedence of production input overrides

aPriori allows you to set and override production inputs in a variety of ways. Production inputs include settings such as Process Group, VPE, Material , Annual Volume, and Batch Size.

Here is the precedence aPriori follows for production inputs, in descending order:

• 4: User Override, if specified. For example, manually entering a value in the Cost Guide (see Initial costing: The Cost Guide), or providing a value on the input spreadsheet or via the UI for Bulk Costing (see Bulk Costing and Analysis). User overrides always "win".

• 3: CAD Property value, if provided. See Costing with CAD Properties for more information.

• 2: Preference value from Tools > User Preferences > Default Production Inputs….(see Default Production Inputs).

• 1: Site or VPE default, if specified. This will be used if none of the above apply.
