Determining Scores for Main Criteria 
Determining Scores for Main Criteria
Use
The system calculates a vendor's score for a main criterion from the scores for the subcriteria into which the latter has been subdivided.
If you do not define any subcriteria for a main criterion, the system cannot calculate a score. In this case, you must manually enter a score for the main criterion.
You can weight subcriteria in the same way as main criteria, except that subcriteria do not have a weighting key.
There are no automatic main criteria. For example, if you want to have a main criterion called "On-Time Delivery" for which the score is calculated automatically, you must define the automatic subcriterion "On-Time Delivery" as the only subcriterion for the main criterion. The score calculated for this subcriterion then corresponds to that for the main criterion.
