Define Criteria

In this step, you define the criteria by which the system computes scores for vendors and specify whether the scores for the subcriteria are computed manually, semi-automatically, or automatically.

Hinweis
You can also store your own methods of computation for the scores for subcriteria in the form of user exits. The enhancement MM06L001 is available for this purpose.

The SAP standard system includes the following evaluation criteria:

You can change the descriptions of these criteria.

Recommendation:

You can define up to 99 main criteria. Make sure you limit the main criteria to the most important ones, so that lists do not become too crowded. We recommend a maximum of eight main criteria.

Activities

1. Enter all further criteria you need and maintain a description/name (this appears on screens and in dialog boxes) and a short text (appears as column heading in ranking lists).
2. Specify the subcriteria for each main criterion via Goto -> Subcriteria.
For each subcriterion, enter the scoring method. If you have created a user exit for the subcriterion, enter it.

Note

For each purchasing organization you then specify whether the main and subcriteria can be maintained manually. You also determine the weighting of the subcriteria.
