Background documentationRating Criteria for Supplier Performance Management

 

The basis for rating the performance of a supplier in supplier performance management comes from specific rating criteria. SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) rates the performance of a supplier by comparing, for example, data in an advanced shipping notification (ASN) with data in its referenced purchase order or scheduling agreement release to determine how accurate the ASN of the supplier is. To ensure that SAP SNC can compare and rate the data from the supplier’s order documents, the system uses the Post Processing Framework, which ensures that SAP SNC saves the supplier’s data in the relevant database tables and triggers the performance rating. To rate the performance, SAP SNC calculates the performance of the supplier based on the following rating criteria:

  • Accuracy of the ASN

    For this rating criterion, SAP SNC compares data in the ASN with data in the referenced purchase order to determine how accurate the ASNs of the supplier are. This rating criterion is valid for both supply base performance analysis and direct performance analysis. For more information, see Accuracy of the ASN.

  • On-time delivery

    For this rating criterion, SAP SNC compares the requested shipping date or delivery date of the purchase order or scheduling agreement release to either the shipping date or the delivery date of the supplier's ASN. This rating criterion is valid for both supply base performance analysis and direct performance analysis. For more information, see On-Time Delivery.

  • Shipping discrepancy

    For this rating criterion, SAP SNC compares the ASN quantity and the physically received quantity at the ship-to location. This rating criterion is only valid for supply base performance analysis. For more information, see Shipping Discrepancy.

  • Accuracy of supplier confirmation data

    For this rating criterion, SAP SNC compares the shipping date or delivery date and quantity as confirmed by the supplier during either PO confirmation or SA release confirmation with the actual shipping date or delivery date and quantity specified in the ASN. This rating criterion is valid for both supply base performance analysis and direct performance analysis. For more information, see Accuracy of Supplier Confirmations.

To use the rating criteria for Supplier Performance Management, you must activate the business function Supply Network Collaboration 2 (SCM_SNC_GEN_2).
