Rating Criteria

Use

To rate the performance of your suppliers, you can use specific criteria that your suppliers must meet to receive a good rating. These criteria can include timeliness of the advanced shipping notification (ASN) or delivery. You can specify the deviations that will be tolerated and those that will have a negative impact on the rating for each rating criterion.

Features

Timeliness of the Advanced Shipping Notification

The timeliness of the ASN is a criterion used to evaluate the supplier delivery performance rating (SDPR). For more information about how the system rates an ASN as timely, see Timeliness of the Advanced Shipping Notification .

Timeliness of the Delivery or the Notified Delivery Quantity on the Basis of the Quantity or the Schedule Line

A criterion for evaluating the SDPR is the timeliness of the delivery, which is the goods receipt quantity, or the delivery quantity notified. The type of quantity that the system checks here is dependent on your settings in Customizing 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) Make Global Settings for SDPR End of the navigation path . For more information, see Timeliness of Delivery or Delivery Quantity Notified .

Accuracy of the ASN

Several criteria can influence the accuracy of the ASN. You can specify which criteria influence the rating 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) Make Global Settings for SDPR End of the navigation path by defining an indicator for each respective criterion.

Non-TPOP: Use “Valid Supplier” Algorithm

In this field, you can specify whether the system is to check the existence of a supplier for an ASN in a scenario without third party order processing (TPOP). If you want the system to perform this check, you can define the way in which the system is to proceed in each case. You can specify that the SDPR rates the ASN as incorrect if the supplier has not been specified. Alternatively, you can specify that the SDPR rates the ASN as correct in spite of this check if the supplier has not been specified.
No TPOP: Use “Correct Customer Location” Algorithm
Non-TPOP: Use “Correct Bill-to Party” Algorithm
Non-TPOP: Use “Valid Country of Origin” Algorithm
TPOP: Algorithm “Purchase Order and Product Correct”“
TPOP: Use “Valid Supplier” Algorithm
TPOP: Use “Correct Bill-To Party” Algorithm
TPOP: Use “Correct Quantity” Algorithm
TPOP: Use “Correct End Customer” Algorithm
TPOP: Use “Double ASN” Algorithm

The system calculates double ASNs using ASN validation codes. If you want double ASNs to be included in the rating of your suppliers, you must define ASN validation codes for them in the Customizing settings for Supply Network Collaboration,underFunctions for Service Parts Planning (SPP) Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR) Define SDPR-Relevant ASN Validation Codes . For more information about defining ASN validation codes, see the Implementation Guide (IMG).

For more information about how the system evaluates the individual criteria, see Accuracy of the Advanced Shipping Notification .

Rating Alerts

You can define the alert types that you want to classify as non-compliant supplier responses in the Customizing settings for Supply Network Collaboration under Start of the navigation path Functions for Service Parts Planning (SPP) Next navigation step Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR) Define Relevance of Supplier Alerts End of the navigation path . Select the Response indicator for all alert types that you want to classify in this way. The supplier delivery performance rating function (SDPR) in the Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) collects the alerts that have been classified in this way and transfers them to the SDPR function in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence, where they are rated.

Note Note

You can only use the following alert types for the supplier delivery performance rating:

Problem Report (alert type 7805)
Shipped Quantity Discrepancy (alert type 7804)
Cumulative Quantity Imbalance (alert type 7803)
Alert types that you have classified as a reaction of your suppliers that do not conform to rules (see above).

End of the note.

On-Time Response to Redirection Purchase Orders

One criterion for SDPR is the on-time response to redirection purchase orders . For more information about when the system rates the response to a redirection purchase order as on time, see On-Time Response to Redirection Purchase Orders .

Rating of Supplier Confirmations

You can specify the delivery scenarios in which you want to rate supplier confirmations in Customizing for Supply Network Collaboration by choosing Start of the navigation path Functions for Service Parts Planning (SPP) Next navigation step Supplier Delivery Performance Rating (SDPR) Define Relevance of Supplier Confirmation for Rule Compliance End of the navigation path .Other criteria for SDPR are the accuracy of supplier confirmations and the rule-compliant response of your suppliers to supplier confirmation requests. For more information about these criteria, see Accuracy of Supplier Confirmation and Rule Compliance of Response to Supplier Confirmation Request .
