1. 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.

2. 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".

3. 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.
Transactions for carrying out vendor evaluation
ME61 - Maintain
ME62 - Display
ME63 - Automatic New Evaluation
ME64 - Compare Evaluations

4. ME6A - Changes
ME6G - Evaluation in Background
ME6E - Vendors Without Weighting Key
ME65 - Ranking Lists
ME6B - Evaluations per Material/Material Group
ME6C - Vendors Without Evaluation
ME6D - Vendors Not Evaluated Since
ME6H - Standard Analysis
before you carry out the vendor evaluation , you need to perform PO, GR and IR transactions to
get the relatedbusiness data for evaluation process.
