Background documentationAccuracy of Supplier Confirmations

 

You, the customer, can use this rating criterion to rate the performance of the supplier on the accuracy of their supplier confirmations. SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) measures the accuracy of a supplier confirmation, by comparing the confirmed quantities and the shipping date or delivery date of a supplier confirmation with the quantities and the shipping or delivery dates of existing advanced shipping notifications (ASN). SAP SNC determines if the quantities and the shipping or delivery dates that the supplier has confirmed in the supplier confirmation are the same as those in the ASN, and if the supplier confirmed those dates before the shipping or delivery date of the ASN. Furthermore, if the quantities and the shipping date or delivery date of existing ASNs match the quantities and the shipping date or delivery date for the supplier confirmation, SAP SNC considers the supplier confirmation accurate.

If a supplier confirmation is accurate, but there are ASNs remaining for the time window with quantities unaccounted for, SAP SNC assigns the remaining quantities of the ASN to either a previous supplier confirmation or to the closest supplier confirmation (based on the time window). You determine to which supplier confirmation SAP SNC assigns the quantities in Customizing.

To use this rating criterion, you must activate the business function Supply Network Collaboration 2 (SCM_SNC_GEN_2).

Prerequisites

You have made the following settings in Customizing for Supply Network Collaboration under Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step Supplier Performance Management End of the navigation path or on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Supply Network Collaboration Next navigation step Tools Next navigation step Supplier Performance Management End of the navigation path:

  • If you want to use a tolerance buffer for the shipping date or delivery date of the ASN, you have set up a time window under Define Time Window.

  • If you want to use a tolerance buffer for the requested quantities, you have set up quantity tolerances under Define Quantity Tolerance.

Scoring the Supplier in Supply Base Performance Analysis

To score the performance of a supplier, SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse divides the number of accurate confirmation schedule lines by the total number of confirmation schedule lines in the period of analysis.
