# Add consumer variables to an RRP

Release version: Australia

![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
As a consumer, you can add your own variables to a provider's remote record producer (RRP) in your consumer instance using a variable set. Consumer variables are useful in a Consumer Pre-Flow for adding additional information
to complete a flow.

## Before you begin

Note the following requirements:

* You must be using Service Exchange version 2.1.x+.
* You have added the necessary variables to a variable set. For more details, see [Using variable sets with Remote Record Producers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xHYJh1azrx0PUozkI4fFkA "Use single and multi-row variable sets with remote record producers.").

## About this task

* You can add only one variable set to a provider's RRP in your consumer instance.
* The variable set you add in your consumer instance doesn't automatically synchronize with the provider instance.
* You cannot edit any provider variables.
