Supplier Delivery Performance Rating

Purpose

The system rates the performance of your suppliers in this process. Factors such as timeliness of the delivery, accuracy of the advanced shipping notification and so on are used as the basis for this rating. The system evaluates these factors for each combination of supplier and customer location. A supplier can receive different ratings for different customer locations. The results of this rating are based on a points scale and are absolute point values. For more information about point-based rating, see the SAP Library under Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step SAP Business Information Warehouse Next navigation step BI Content Next navigation step Supply Chain Management Next navigation step Supply Chain Performance Management Next navigation step Service Parts Logistics Next navigation step Supplier Delivery Performance Rating End of the navigation path .

Prerequisites

  • You have executed the IMG activities in Customizing for Supply Network Collaboration under Functions for Service Parts Planning (SPP) under Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR) .

  • In Customizing for SCM Basis you have checked the IMG activities under Basic Settings for Supply Chain Analytics Applications .

  • In Customizing for Advanced Planning and Optimization under Start of the navigation path Supply Chain Planning Next navigation step Service Parts Planning (SPP) Next navigation step SPP Alert Monitor Next navigation step Make General Settings for Alerts End of the navigation path , you have set the SDPR-Relevant indicator for the alert types that you want the system to consider during SDPR.

  • In the Customizing settings for Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and OptimizationunderSupply Chain Planning Next navigation step Collaborative Procurement Next navigation step Procurement Scheduling Agreement Next navigation step Maintain Release Profile, you have set the value for the release process to 1:1 on theLayouttab page in one or both of the fieldsSchedule Lines from the PastandSchedule Lines from Operative Horizon. End of the navigation path By doing so, you prevent the system from counting overdue quantities, which are listed again in a new release, twice.

    These settings must match the settings for the release types that you have defined in the Customizing settings for the Supply Network Collaboration under Start of the navigation path Functions for Service Parts Planning (SPP) Next navigation step Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR) Next navigation step Maintain Use of Release Status End of the navigation path .

  • You have made the necessary settings in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver , under Start of the navigation path SAP Business Information Warehouse Next navigation step Settings for Business Content Next navigation step Supply Chain Management Next navigation step Service Parts Logistics Next navigation step Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR). End of the navigation path For more information about these settings, see the Implementation Guide (IMG).

  • In Customizing for the Post Processing Framework (PPF), you have made sure that the following actions are part of the PPF and are activated.

    • /SCA/BOL_DLV_SDPR_CALL

    • /SCA/BOL_ORD_SDPR_CALL

Process

The following diagram shows the system landscape and the process flow for supplier delivery performance rating (SDPR):

  1. You communicate with your suppliers online through the Web interface for the SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) or through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). You can use these channels to perform scheduling agreement releases at your suppliers and submit purchase orders. Your supplier can then send you advanced shipping notifications. If you communicate with your suppliers through EDI, the communication is by means of an ERP System, which transfers the relevant data to SAP SNC. If you communicate with your suppliers online, communication takes place directly with the SAP SNC. The Alert Monitor in SAP SNC transfers alerts to the SDPR function directly.

  2. The SDPR function in SAP SNC processes the following documents by converting them from the SNC display to the SDPR display.

    • Advanced Shipping Notifications

    • Purchase Orders

    • Supplier Confirmations and Supplier Confirmation Requests

    • Scheduling Agreement Releases

    • Alerts

  3. The system generates an initial rating, which is visible in the basis database tables in Supply Chain Management ( SCM Basis ).

  4. The system transfers the data, which the SDPR function has prepared in SAP SNC, to the SDPR function in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence.

  5. The SDPR function in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence creates the final supplier delivery performance rating to which both you and your suppliers have access.

  6. The supplier delivery performance rating creates entries in the application log. For this, it uses the object SCM_SPL_REP with the subobjects SDPR and SCR_BO_EQ.
