Work with Triangle Interfaces
Triangle interfaces compare each month’s forecast to the checkpoints or approved plans loaded in CCH Tagetik Supply Chain Planning to measure forecast accuracy.
Triangle Interface Example
Bold totals in the interface are actuals, while other values are forecasts. The lighter the line in the graph, the further away it is from the checkpoint you selected. The line gradient shows how your forecast has evolved over time.

See Compare Checkpoints.
