You can use formula parameters to further define the processing of a phase. You define formula parameters in the Process Model editor.
The three types of parameters are:
-
Inputs
-
Outputs
-
Process variables
Parameters act as mailboxes for data. Input parameters ingredient quantities based on the formula. Process variable parameters hold process variable values. Output parameters hold output quantities based on the formula. As a procedure is constructed, each element of the formula is assigned to a parameter.
