What is the IsChildScenario function used for?

The IsChildScenario function serves a specific purpose within scenario management by determining if one scenario is a descendant of another. This function is particularly valuable in environments where multiple scenarios may have been created, allowing users to establish hierarchical relationships among them. By knowing whether a scenario is a child of another, users can more effectively manage dependencies and understand the lineage of their scenarios, which is crucial for accurate data modeling and decision-making in supply chain planning.

In contrast to the other functions, which either focus on creating, evaluating, or listing scenarios, the primary strength of IsChildScenario lies in its ability to clarify the relationship between different scenarios, enabling better analysis of variance and decision context in complex decision-making processes.
