Illustrator is changing around my CMYK values in saved swatches

Illustrator is changing around my CMYK values in saved swatches... For example. I punch in the CMYK values for PMS 427... and hit save... Then when I bring up the file it is completely different values

    Hi Egor,
    Thanks,

    When trying to manage a consistent look with multiple freelancers, venders and vendor requirements. I like save out the swatch libraries (asa files) as PMS, CMYK, and RGB. Some vendors are OK with PMS others only want CMKY.

    Does this help make sense?

    I don't get it. Why do you edit PMS swatch? Just grab if from the library.
    Secondly, it sounds like you have RGB document, but I don't think you haven't checked it.
    Then I think I just don't understand. Can't you explain a bit more?

    According to Pantone color manager CMYK for PMS 427 is 7, 3, 5, 8.
    If I enter it in illustrator it changes to 14, 9, 11, 0
