Vendor Evaluation Data (Semi-Automatic)

Technical name: 0MM_PUR_VE_02

Use

The InfoSource Vendor Evaluation Data/Semi-Automatic supplies detailed data for the vendor evaluation facility within Purchasing. With this InfoSource, you can display the scores for the semi-automatic subcriteria at info record level. This enables you to compare your vendors at material level. You can obtain answers to questions such as the following: "Is the vendor reliable for all materials, or is poor service to be expected in certain cases (e.g. delays in delivery)?" "Which vendor is especially flexible in supplying the material Hydraulic brakes?"

Note

After the first transfer of the vendor evaluation data from Purchasing, only changed data is subsequently transferred. Therefore, carry out a new evaluation of your vendors before transferring the data from the source system to the SAP Business Information Warehouse. Otherwise, not all relevant data may be transferred. This is particularly important if you transfer only sections of the overall data volume (e.g. data relating to vendors A-D) through the appropriate selections.

Example

You have selected vendors A-D and transferred the data to the SAP Business Information Warehouse. One week later, you wish to transfer the data for vendors C-G to the SAP Business Information Warehouse. If you do not carry out a new evaluation, only the data that was changed during the last week will be transferred. That is to say, data that was not changed during this period will not be transferred – even if it has never yet been transferred.
