Vendor Evaluation Data

Technical name: 0MM_PUR_VE_01

Use

The InfoSource Vendor Evaluation Data supplies you with the scores from the vendor evaluation facility within Purchasing. On the basis of this data, you can compare your vendors with each other and also check whether or not a vendor's quality performance has improved for example.

The following scores are available in this InfoSource:

Vendor's overall score
Scores for main criteria
Scores for automatic subcriteria
Scores for semi-automatic subcriteria
Scores for manually entered main and subcriteria
Scores for subcriteria determined via your user exit

Note

Vendors are evaluated at purchasing organization level. This means that each purchasing organization evaluates the vendors that have been assigned to it. For this reason, you can only compare vendors that have been assigned to the same purchasing organization. It is only possible to carry out a comparison across purchasing organizations if the vendor evaluation criteria and rating scales in the various purchasing organizations are identical.

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.

The detailed data for the semi-automatic subcriteria is supplied by the InfoSource Vendor Evaluation Data (Semi-Automatic).
