Maintaining Scores for Semi-Automatic Subcriteria 

You can enter scores for semi-automatic subcriteria per material and vendor at info record level or when entering a service. The next time you carry out a vendor evaluation, the system will take account of automatic and semi-automatic criteria in determining the scores.

Maintaining Scores at Info Record Level

You can maintain scores for a material-vendor combination in two ways: in Vendor Evaluation, or when maintaining a purchasing info record. To access Vendor Evaluation from an info record, choose Extras ® Vendor evaluation.

To enter scores for semi-automatic subcriteria via the Vendor Evaluation menu, proceed as follows:

  1. From the overview screen for main criteria choose Goto ® Evaluation per info record to access the info record level.
  2. A box appears in which you enter the number of the material for which you wish to enter the scores.
    If a non-stock material without a material number is involved, you can enter the info record.

  3. Enter the material number or info record and press ENTER. The screen for the first main criterion appears.
  4. Enter scores for your subcriteria.
  5. Branch to the screen for the next main criterion and maintain the scores.
  6. Repeat this procedure for the other main criteria. Save your evaluation.

Maintaining Scores at the Time of Service Entry

To enter the scores for an externally performed service, proceed as follows:

  1. From the system menu, choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Service entry sheet.
  2. The Service entry screen appears.

  3. Choose Service entry sheet ® Maintain.
  4. The initial screen for entering services or work performed appears.

  5. Enter the purchase order number and any other relevant parameters, and press Enter .
  6. The maintenance screen for service entry sheets appears.

  7. Position the cursor on an item and create an entry sheet (via the menu path Edit ® Create).
  8. Under the group heading Vendor evaluation, enter the scores for the quality and timeliness of service provision.

  9. Save the entry sheet.

These scores only become available to Vendor Evaluation after the relevant services have been accepted.
