Reports and Analyses in Vendor Evaluation

Use

This section explains the benefits to be gained from the reports and analyses in the SAP system and describes how to run them.

Purpose of Reports and Analyses in Vendor Evaluation

Reports and analyses in Vendor Evaluation enable you to compare the overall evaluations and scores for individual main criteria attained by your vendors in different ways.

They also enable you to determine which vendors have never been evaluated and which vendors are due to be re-evaluated.

Purchasing executives can obtain information such as the following:

Which vendors have the best overall score?

Which of the best vendors received a particularly good or bad score for the main criterion "Price"?

Which vendors received a good overall score, but a below-average score for the main criterion "Quality"?

Which vendors received a poor overall score but a very good score when you only consider one particular material?

Which service providers perform services for you on time and with high quality?

Running Reports and Analyses

To run a report or an analysis, proceed as follows:

From the Purchasing menu, choose Master data ® Vendor evaluation ® List displays. Then select one of the following reports:

Ranking list of vendor evaluations

Evaluation per material/material group

This analysis is only of interest in connection with vendors from whom you procure materials.

All vendors without an evaluation

All your vendors who have not been evaluated since a certain date

Comparing Evaluations

This analysis is only of interest in connection with vendors from whom you procure materials. By choosing Master data ® Vendor evaluation ® Evaluation comparison you run a report that compares a vendor’s general evaluation with his evaluation in respect of one particular material.

Standard Analysis

By choosing Master data ® Vendor evaluation ® Standard analysis, you can run an analysis that provides you with both the cumulative score per period and the score for just one period (among other things). The standard analysis is integrated with the Logistics Information System (LIS) and features the usual LIS functionality.
