How to Generate Reports and Analyses 

Steps

The following graphic displays the steps you must follow to generate a report or an analysis:

Printing Reports and Analyses

After you have generated a report or an analysis, you can print it.

Alternatively, you can combine the start and print commands by choosing Program ® Execute + print instead of Program ® Execute.

Prerequisites

When you define the scope of the report or analysis, you must decide which information you require and enter the corresponding intervals.

For example, you should not select all the vendors for a particular material for all purchasing organizations in one report. Instead, generate a separate report for each individual purchasing organization.

Scope-of-List Parameters

The content and the way the information is set out in your reports and analyses is determined by your choice of scope-of-list parameters.

The standard SAP System contains the following scope-of-list parameters:

Ranking list of vendors arranged in descending order according to the scores they have achieved for the main criterion Delivery. The overall score is shown at the end.

Before you began working with Vendor Evaluation, you or your system administrator may have entered further parameters in Customizing for the generation of various reports or analyses.

If you require other output formats in the course of your work, you can define further parameters.

Selecting Intervals

As well as entering individual values on the initial screen, you can also specify intervals. There is a second column to the right of the first column in which you can enter a second vendor or a second purchasing organization, for example.

Selecting Several Intervals

If you want to select several intervals, position the cursor on the desired field and choose Edit ® Selection options from the menu bar. A screen allowing you to specify intervals (for example, "greater than or equal to" the entered value) will appear. You can also choose whether the system is to select all the specified data (include) or all data except that specified (exclude).
