When a new scenario is created in RapidResponse, what happens to the company's existing data?

When a new scenario is created in RapidResponse, the existing company data is copied into the new scenario. This allows users to have a baseline of data to work with, enabling them to manipulate, analyze, or model different "what-if" scenarios without altering the original data set. This functionality is crucial for planning and forecasting, as it provides the flexibility to explore outcomes based on various assumptions while retaining the integrity of the original data.

The ability to have an exact replica of the existing data in a new scenario supports robust decision-making processes, as users can compare results across multiple scenarios and retain access to the original data for reference. This methodology underscores the strength of RapidResponse's capabilities in changing variable factors and analyzing their effects on the overall supply chain or business environment.
