Web Template: Best Vendors (Criteria Selection) 

Technical Name: 0TPL_SR_VE_CRIT_SEARCH

Use

The operational purchaser can use this Web template to list the average evaluation along with the number of evaluation records per vendor, product category, and product, using freely definable criteria.

You can use the Web template to support sourcing, for example. You can select criteria dependent on the goods/services to be ordered. You can display past evaluations based on selected criteria for vendors of required goods/services.  

You can call the Web template in Enterprise Buyer from the Sourcing and Create Purchase Order applications. The context data from the Enterprise Buyer application (potential vendors, product categories, and products) is used to filter the report data. You can then use the filtered vendor evaluation data to select a suitable vendor.

Integration

The Web template is assigned to the role SAP_BW_SRM_VENDOR_EVAL (vendor evaluation) in the Sourcing Cockpit folder.

Prerequisites

The role SAP_BW_SRM_VENDOR EVAL has to be activated.

Features

When you call the Web template, a dialog box appears. Here, you specify whether the evaluation is to occur in cross-system fashion, or for a certain system.

From the Best Vendors (Criteria Selection) Web template, you can branch to the following vendor evaluation Web templates under Further Analyses:

·        Vendor Comparison (Manual Evaluation) (0TPL_SR_VE_SCORES)

·        Trend Comparison of Vendor Evaluation (0TPL_SR_VE_HISTORYCOMP)

·        Vendor Information (0WEB_SRM_VENDOR_INFO_SC)

If the Web template is called from Enterprise Buyer, context data like vendors, product categories, and products is transferred from the application (Sourcing, Create Purchase Order, for example). The reports contained in the Web templates are filtered using this context data.
