MM Vendor Evaluation

Uses

The Vendor Evaluation component supports you in optimizing your procurement processes in thecase of both materials and services.

Integration

In the SAP System, Vendor Evaluation is completely integrated into the Purchasingcomponent !ithin aterials anagement. This means that information such as delivery dates,

prices, and "uantities can be ta#en from purchase orders.

Vendor Evaluation also uses data from the $uality anagement component, such as the resultsof incoming inspections or "uality audits.

Vendor Evaluation accesses basic aterials anagement data, Inventory anagement data%such as goods receipts&, and data from the 'ogistics Information System %'IS&. The 'IS data isstored in the information structure S()*.

Customizing

+efore you can !or# !ith the Vendor Evaluation component, the system settings must bemaintained.

Scope of Functions

rocurement of Materials

The Vendor Evaluation component helps you select sources of supply and facilitates the continualmonitoring of eisting supply relationships. It provides you !ith accurate information on prices,and terms of payment and delivery. +y evaluating vendors, you can improve your enterprise-scompetitiveness.

n the basis of detailed information, and in collaboration !ith the relevant vendors, you can"uic#ly identify and resolve any procurement problems that may crop up from time to time.

rocurement of Services

/ou can chec# the reliability of the vendors from !hom you procure services on a plant by plantbasis. /ou can determine !hether the vendors perform the services !ithin the specifiedtimeframes and appraise the "uality of the !or# carried out.

Scores and Criteria

The standard SAP System offers you a scoring range from ) to )(( points, !hich is used tomeasure the performance of your vendors on the basis of five main criteria.

/ou can determine and compare the performance of your vendors by reference to their overallscores.

The main criteria available in the standard system are0

Price

$uality

1elivery

2eneral service3support

These four main criteria serve as a basis for evaluating vendors from !hom you procurematerials.

Eternal service provision

This main criterion serves as a basis for evaluating those vendors you employ as eternalservice providers.


3/75

/ou can also define other or further main criteria, as re"uired./ou can assign different !eights to the individual criteria. The vendor4s overall score is computedta#ing into account the !eighted scores a!arded for each of the main criteria.

The Vendor Evaluation System ensures that evaluation of vendors is ob5ective, since all vendorsare assessed according to uniform criteria and the scores are computed automatically.

In this !ay, sub5ective impressions and 5udgments can be largely eliminated.

To create a detailed evaluation, each main criterion can be divided into several subcriteria.

The standard system provides you !ith certain subcriteria !hich suffice as a basis for evaluation./ou can also define your o!n additional subcriteria.

The scores for the subcriteria are calculated in different !ays.

Scoring Met!ods

Scoring met!od "escription

6ully automatically Scores are calculated by the system on the basis of eisting data.

Semi7automatically /ou enter individual scores for important materials, or for the "ualityand timeliness of a service performed, yourself. The system thencalculates the higher7level score from these.

anually /ou enter a blan#et score for a subcriterion per vendor.

/ou can decide yourself !hich of these methods to use.

#nalyses

The results of vendor evaluation are displayed in the form of analyses. 6or eample, you cangenerate ran#ing lists of the best vendors according to their overall scores or ran#ing lists forspecific materials.

8hanges to evaluations are recorded in logs, and you have the option of printing out evaluationsheets.

urc!asing groupThe purchasing organization is further subdivided into purchasing groups %groups of buyers&,!hich are responsible for day7to7day buying activities.

'rganizational evel for Vendor Evaluation

The organizational level for Vendor Evaluation is the purchasing organization0

Each purchasing organization evaluates the vendors that have been assigned to it.

The system does not support a comparison of Vendor Evaluations at the higher company codelevel.

6or further information, please refer to the Purchasingdocumentation.

& Master "ata

Use

Vendor Evaluation uses the follo!ing master data0

Vendor master record

aterial master record

Purchasing info record

Vendor Master *ecord

The vendor master database contains information on an enterprise-s vendors. This information isstored in individual vendor master records. As !ell as the name and address of the vendor, a

vendor master record contains the follo!ing information0

Vendor-s currency

Terms of payment

8ontact persons %sales personnel&

Since, as a rule, vendors are simultaneously creditors of the enterprise, a vendor master recordalso contains accounting data %for eample, a control account&.

Vendor master records are therefore maintained by both Accounting and Purchasing.

Material Master "ata+ase

The material master database contains descriptions of materials that an enterprise procures,produces, and stores. The material master record is an enterprise4s central source of informationon a specific material. The individual material master records contain data such as the order unit,responsible purchasing group, and over3underdelivery tolerances.

These four main criteria serve as a basis for evaluating vendors from !hom you procurematerials.

,&%&,& Su+criterion

"efinition

Subcriteria are the smallest units for !hich scores are a!arded in Vendor Evaluation.

The system calculates a score for the relevant higher7level main criterion based on the scores avendor receives for the various subcriteria.

Structure

There are three types of subcriterion0

anual

/ou enter the score into the system yourself before carrying out an evaluation.

Semi7automatic

/ou enter scores for "uality and timeliness of delivery or performance at info record level%for a material& or in the service entry sheet %for an eternally performed service&.

6ully automatic

/ou do not enter any data yourself. The system calculates the scores for automatic subcriteria onthe basis of data from other areas of the enterprise outside the Vendor Evaluation system %foreample, 2oods Deceiving or $uality anagement&. The individual scoring methods fulfilldifferent purposes and involve different #inds of maintenance. 6or more information on this topic,please refer to the section 1etermining Scores.

6ully Automatic Scoring

Manual Scoring

Use

9ith this method, you enter the vendor-s score for a subcriterion in the Vendor Evaluation systemyourself before carrying out an evaluation. The system includes this score in the computation ofthe score for the higher7level main criterion.

The follo!ing graphic outlines the manual scoring method0

If you enter a manual score for a vendor from !hom you procure materials, the score is a blan#etscore for the vendor, applicable to all the materials supplied by the latter.

This method is recommended for evaluations in !hich you are not especially interested inparticular materials. It does not need much maintenance, since you are not re"uired to enterindividual scores over longer periods of time.

+efore each ne! evaluation, you should chec# %and, if necessary, change& the scores for manualsubcriteria.

Semi-#utomatic Scoring

Use

The semi7automatic scoring method is applied in evaluation at info record level and in evaluationat the level of the service entry sheet. Instead of a!arding a vendor a single blan#et score for allhis materials or services, you maintain0

A number of scores %at info record level& for each material you consider to be particularlyimportant.

Scores for the "uality and timeliness of each eternal service performed for you. Thesescores are updated at the time of service acceptance.

The follo!ing graphic outlines the semi7automatic scoring method. %It is limited to the info recordlevel.&

16/75

This method allo!s the score for a subcriterion to be calculated from a broader base of data.Scores obtained in this !ay are more meaningful and ob5ective.

#ctivities

9hen you carry out a vendor evaluation after a certain period of time, the follo!ing occurs0

In determining the scores, the system ta#es all the scores you previously entered at inforecord level into account and computes the average.

Hpon service acceptance, the scores you entered in the service entry sheet areincorporated %after smoothing& in the eisting scores for the current month. The systemno! determines the scores for the current month for each plant and computes the

average. See also $uality of Service Provision, Timeliness of Service Provision %ain8riterion CEternal Service ProvisionC&.

aterial7specific evaluations also afford the advantage that you can run analyses comparing thevarious vendors of a certain material.

6or more on this topic, see also the section Deports and Analyses in Vendor Evaluation.

Fully #utomatic Scoring

Use

In contrast to the manual and semi7automatic methods, !ith this method you do not enter anydata or scores yourself. This method is not used for evaluating eternal services.
