• If Packaging is included in a primary process group routing, then the costs associated with the packaging processes are computed by the Packing cost model and combined with the primary process group costs, and any other secondary processes (Heat Treatment and Surface Treatment) to produce a total manufacturing process cost.

• Material costs associated with packaging processes, such as the cost of cartons, bags, and bubble wrap, will not appear in the Material Cost field of the cost taxonomy (which is displayed in various places through aPriori, such as on the Cost Summary and Part t Details tabs as well as various reports). Instead, these costs will appear as Additional Direct Costs.
