Comparison of Evaluations (SAP Library

Comparison of Evaluations

This report differs from others in that it provides a detailed picture of one specific vendor, without any other vendors being involved.

In this report the overall score calculated from deliveries of all the vendor's materials is compared to the overall score the vendor would receive if only one specific material formed the basis of the evaluation.

With this report, you can determine how a vendor performs with regard to one of your most important materials.

For example, the report will tell you that a vendor with a poor or average general evaluation actually has a much better score in relation to material X or Z than vendors with good general evaluations.
This information ensures that you do not overlook interesting sourcing options you may otherwise not consider when procuring the materials in question.

You cannot save this report, but you can regenerate it as required.

Procedure

From the Purchasing menu, choose Master data ® Vendor evaluation ® Compare evaluations. The initial screen for the analysis appears.

Enter the keys for the vendor and purchasing organization.

In the Comparison level area, fill out one of the following fields:

- Material

- Info record

- Material group

If you have entered a material group, you can specify whether the system is to search for materials with a master record only (1), materials without a master record only (2), or both (no entry) within the material group.

- Choose Program ® Execute to start the report. The report compares a vendor's general evaluation with an evaluation for a specific material.

Choose Goto ® Evaluation of vendor to branch to the general evaluation display.

Displaying Logs

Choose Goto ® All logs to display all available logs. These show the scores calculated by the system for the automatic and semi-automatic subcriteria belonging to all main criteria.

If you only wish to display the logs for subcriteria of a particular main criterion, select the desired main criterion and choose Goto ® Detailed information.

If you only wish to see the log for one particular subcriterion, select the desired subcriterion and choose Goto ® Individual log.

These options allow you to keep track of a large number of evaluation records without the analysis becoming too confusing since you are able to view in detail only those main criteria which you consider to be of particular relevance.
