The configuration steps

SPRO-> IMG-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Vendor Evaluation-> Maintain Purchasing Organization Data

 

In this step, you define individual Vendor Evaluation System settings for each purchasing organization.

 

Maintain the following data:

 

In the process, please note that all parameters must be maintained in order for the system to be able to compute scores.

If, for example, you do not maintain any smoothing factors for the criteria "on-time delivery performance", "quantity reliability", and "compliance with shipping instructions", the system will not be able to compute the scores.

 

 

On the detail screen for the purchasing organization, define:

 

 

General parameters

The best score that a vendor can achieve (applies to all subcriteria).

The maximum number of days data may exist in the system and still be taken into account in the vendor evaluation (applies to all subcriteria).

The calendar used for the computation of on-time delivery performance and adherence to the confirmation date.

The form (layout set) used to generate the vendor evaluation sheet. If you make no entry, the standard form MELDRUCK is used.

Price level

Indicator showing whether or not the vendor is the only source of a material.

Complaints level

Percentage that indicates the maximum percentage of the total volume of business done with a certain vendor that the costs associated with complaints regarding materials supplied (and/or rejection thereof) may reach. If this percentage is exceeded, the vendor is awarded the lowest score.

Quality audit

Indicator showing whether the average score of all quality audits is to be taken, or whether the result of the most recent audit is to be used in computing scores.

On-time delivery performance

The delivery time variance that counts as 100%.

The minimum delivery quantity.

The indicator showing whether or not the minimum delivery percentage is adopted from the material master record.

Smoothing factors

The smoothing factors for:

The delivery date variance and the quality and timeliness of an externally performed service.

The quantity variance.

Compliance with shipping instructions.

Note

 

The parameters for the subcriterion "on-time delivery performance" are also applied to the subcriterion "quantity reliability".

 

 

Evaluation criteria

 

Specify which main criteria apply to the purchasing organization and whether these may be entered manually or changed after automatic determination.

 

For each main criterion, define the weighting of the subcriteria and specify whether they may be maintained manually.

 

 

Weighting

 

Define the composition of the weighting keys that are valid for this purchasing organization. The weighting keys themselves are defined in the step Define Weighting Keys.

 

 

Points scores for automatic criteria

 

Here you define the scores for certain intervals of variances.

ME61 - Maintain

ME62 - Display

ME63 - Automatic New Evaluation

ME64 - Compare Evaluations

ME6A - Changes

ME6G - Evaluation in Background

ME6E - Vendors Without Weighting Key

ME65 - Ranking Lists

before you carry out the vendor evaluation , you  need to perform PO, GR and IR transactions to get the relatedbusiness data for evaluation process.
