Product Impacts
- You can now apply product edits retroactively in order to recalculate existing Purchase Orders
- Categories and Tags now work for products synced from the Higg Product Module to PIC
- FEM status is now included in the PIC Purchase Orders Impacts report
-
Taxonomy Version 1.1 Update:
- All PIC impact calculations now reflect the most up-to-date data from the Higg MSI 3.9.
- All midpoints have changed due to the update to the LCA for Experts (formerly known as GaBi) database. Background datasets, such as raw materials and energy, are used to build models of each process.
- The Higg MSI version 3.9 has been updated to LCA for Experts content version 2024.2. Changes in impacts +/-10% are considered normal and are expected across the database.
-
Materials Update
- The Leather material is now built using the “Bovine (cow) leather” raw material. Compared to the old material, this resulted in a decrease in impacts.
-
The heat setting model boundaries and data are revised to match industry practices. The following processes used in all material are impacted:
- Heat setting, textiles, preparation
- Heat setting, textiles, finishing
- Weight of socks updated
