Direct Performance Analysis

You, the customer, can use direct performance analysis to directly analyze supplier data in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) to gain a comprehensive overview of the performance of one or more suppliers based on specific rating criteria. Direct performance analysis can rate the supplier's performance using rating criteria that compares specific data from the following types of order documents used in SAP SNC:

Purchase orders (POs) including PO confirmation data
Scheduling agreement releases (SA releases) including SA release confirmation data
Advanced shipping notifications (ASNs)

Using direct performance analysis you can determine if immediate corrective action is necessary if, for example, a supplier's performance level shows a negative trend. With direct performance analysis, customers and suppliers can use standard queries that they access from the SAP SNC Web user interface to analyze the results of the supplier performance in real-time. The queries use operational data providers (ODPs) that directly read the relevant data from tables in SAP SNC.

To use direct performance analysis, you must activate the business function Supply Network Collaboration 2 (SCM_SNC_GEN_2).

Prerequisites

To use direct performance analysis, we recommend that you make system settings to ensure that you have the right system configuration for the best use of ODPs and SAP Crystal Reports. For more information on how to configure the system to best use ODPs and SAP Crystal Reports, see the documentation for SAP Solution Manager under the following paths in the Solution Manager system:

Solutions/Applications Basic Configuration Configuration Structures Operational Analytics Configuration for Operational Data Provisioning
Solutions/Applications Basic Configuration Configuration Structures Operational Analytics Operational Analytics Configuration for Data Visualization

Furthermore, you must make system settings in SAP SNC. For more information, see Settings for Supplier Performance Management in SAP SNC.

Features

Rating the Supplier Performance

To rate the performance of your suppliers, you use rating criteria that compare specific data from different order documents to determine how well the supplier is performing. For more information, see Rating Criteria for Supplier Performance Management.

Sourcing the Data using ODPs

When you use a query to analyze the supplier's performance, SAP SNC uses ODPs to read the results (in form of data) in real-time from the relevant extraction tables. The ODPs use the extraction tables of the following DataSources:

Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) (0SPL_DELIVERY_DATA_1)
Purchase Order (0SPL_PO_DATA_1)
Scheduling Agreement Release (0SPL_SCH_DATA_1)
Supplier Confirmation Data (0SPL_CON_DATA_1)

Queries for Direct Performance Analysis

To display and analyze the performance data of suppliers, both the customer and the suppliers can access queries from the SAP SNC Web UI. Queries for direct performance analysis are available on both the customer view and the supplier view. In the standard system, the user can view the data for direct performance analysis as follows:

In the customer view, the customer can display and analyze all data related to those suppliers where a common order document exists.
In the supplier view, the suppliers can only view their own data.

All queries use monthly periods of analysis. The user can use SAP Crystal Reports to generate reports on the performance of the supplier.

Queries to Analyze the ASN Data of the Suppliers

In the standard system, the following queries to analyze data related to the supplier's ASNs are available:

Accuracy of ASN (Customer Overview)
With this query, you can display key figures that show the ratio of accurate ASN items as defined by the accuracy of the ASN rating criterion. For more information about the ASN items that SAP SNC considers accurate, see Accuracy of the ASN.
On-Time Delivery of ASN (Customer Overview)
With this query, you can display key figures that show the ratio of accurate ASN items determined by on-time deliveries. In this query, an accurate ASN is an ASN item that has delivered the total requested quantity on-time. For more information about on-time deliveries, see On-Time Delivery.
Accuracy of ASN/On-Time Delivery of ASN (Customer Overview)
With this query, you can display a key figure that shows the ratio of accurate ASN items determined by combining the following:
- Accurate ASN items based on the accuracy of the ASN rating criterion.
- Accurate ASN items determined by on-time deliveries.
Accuracy of ASN/On-Time Delivery of ASN (Supplier Details) and Accuracy of ASN/On-Time Delivery of ASN (Customer Details)
With this query, you can display detailed data about the performance of the supplier based on the accuracy of the ASN rating criterion and the on-time delivery rating criterion. The query displays key figures that show the following data:
- The accuracy of the ASN item as defined by the accuracy of the ASN rating criterion.
- The accuracy of the ASN item as determined by on-time deliveries.
- The accuracy of the ASN item as determined by a combination of the following:
  - Accurate ASN items based on the accuracy of the ASN rating criterion.
  - Accurate ASN items determined by on-time deliveries.
- A detailed breakdown of all quantities delivered according to the categorization of the on-time delivery rating criterion.

Queries to Analyze the Accuracy of the Supplier Confirmations

In the standard system, the following queries to analyze data related to the supplier confirmations are available:

Accuracy of Supplier Confirmations (Customer Overview)
With this query, you can display key figures that show the ratio of accurate supplier confirmations as defined by the accuracy of the supplier confirmation rating criterion. For more information about the supplier confirmations that SAP SNC considers accurate, see Accuracy of Supplier Confirmations.
Accuracy of Supplier Confirmations (Supplier Details) and Accuracy of Supplier Confirmations (Customer Details)
With this query, you can display detailed data about the performance of the supplier based on the accuracy of the supplier confirmation rating criterion. The query displays key figures that display the following data:
- The accuracy of the supplier confirmations as defined by the accuracy of the supplier confirmation rating criterion.
- A detailed breakdown of the confirmed quantities.

Queries to Analyze the On-Time Deliveries for POs

In the standard system, the On-Time Deliveries for PO (Supplier, Schedule Line/Quantity) and On-Time Deliveries for PO (Customer, Schedule Line/Quantity) queries are available on the supplier view and the customer view of the SAP SNC Web UI. The key figures of the queries display the following data:

The ratio of PO schedule lines that SAP SNC considers to have been delivered on time and late. SAP SNC determines which schedule lines are on time or late by checking the data of the supplier's ASNs.
The ratio of requested quantities from POs that SAP SNC considers on time, early, late or overdue. SAP SNC determines which quantities are on time, early, late or overdue by checking the data of the supplier's ASNs.

Queries to Analyze the On-Time Deliveries of SA Releases

In the standard system, the On-Time Deliveries for SA Releases (Supp., Schedule Line/Qty) and On-Time Deliveries for SA Releases (Cust., Schedule Line/Qty) queries are available on the customer view and the supplier view of the SAP SNC Web UI. The key figures of the queries display the following data:

The ratio of SA release schedule lines that SAP SNC considers to have been delivered on time and late. SAP SNC determines which SA release schedule lines are on time or late by checking the data of the supplier's ASNs.
