When conflicts arise from the MDM synchronization process, you can examine and decide how to handle these conflicts. You are able to view current and past conflicts.
Note: If synchronization between AVEVA™ Production Management and the master data source occurs while you are in the conflict management UI, a message displays when you attempt to submit changes. The message informs you that, as a result of the synchronization, the current conflict information is no longer valid. The changes you made on the conflicts are lost. However, changes made on the project are not be affected.
