Quantity Reliability (Main Criterion "Delivery")

Use

This section describes how the system calculates the score for the automatic subcriterion "Quantity Reliability".

Prerequisites

A vendor's score is updated in the statistics file when a purchase order is closed. A purchase order is considered to be closed when one of the following has occurred:

Although the full order quantity has not been delivered, the buyer signifies that delivery of an order item has been completed by setting the Delivery completed indicator

If 100 pieces of a material are ordered but only 90 pieces are delivered, and the buyer changes the order quantity to 90

The buyer deletes an order item by setting the deletion indicator

The goods receipt quantity is equal to or larger than the order quantity

The system considers only goods receipts against purchase orders and scheduling agreements into stores and the release of GR blocked stock into stores. In the standard system, these are the movement types 101 and 105.

Activities

When goods are received against a purchase order, the system checks whether the quantity received is the same as the quantity ordered. If this is not so, the system works out the difference and converts it into a percentage variance using the following formula: The formula is as follows:

GR quantity - order quantity / order quantity x 100

The system assigns a score for this percentage variance as defined in Customizing.

The new score is then merged with the vendor's previous score for the subcriterion. To calculate the new score for the subcriterion from the already existing composite score and this new individual score, the system applies the smoothing factor Quantity variance defined in Customizing.

When you run a new evaluation, the system calculates the average of the individual scores for all materials. The result is the vendor's score for quality reliability.
