About Assumption Owners

Typically, management gathers forecasts from various departments, such as sales, marketing, etc., and averages them to arrive at a consensus forecast. A best practice for CCH Tagetik Supply Chain Planning users is to assign owners for each unit in the system. This ownership should be honored up the chain to ensure those closest to the data are providing it for use in forecasts across the business.

This changes a forecast from a batch-oriented deliverable to an always-live feed. Assumption owners are responsible for keeping their units updated. This concept is fundamental to the value CCH Tagetik Supply Chain Planning provides.

While owners are the gatekeepers of the information provided, any user may propose a change using the Messages Pane to the assumption owner for review and inclusion.
