Vendor Evaluation

Former Member

Dear Guru,

I am a newbie for using vendor evaluation in SAP. I have a question about how can I evaluate without weighting keys.

This for example.

1. I define 2 Weighting keys for evaluate

1.1 Evaluate for Service Vendor - M1

1.2 Evaluate for Material Vendor - M2

2. I define main criterias as follows

M1 M2

2.1 Price X X

2.2 Quality X X

2.3 Delivery X X

2.4 Service X X

2.5 Machine X

2.6 Humans X

3. After that I define scope of list by copy from Standard which this sequence

Main Criteria Seq

Overall evaluation 1

Price 2

Quality 3

.... 7

4. Maintain purchasing org data

I have a question in this step

If for M1 and M2 - I define weighting keys as follows

M1 M2

1 Price 15 15

2 Quality 25 40

3 Delivery 25 30

4 Service 15 15

5 Machine 10 -

6 Humans 10 -

Max 100 100

If I would like the system to caculate score of vendor a by summary score of each criterias and display the overall score with out using weighting keys,

what should I do?

for example vendor A (Material Vendor - M2)

Score Price 10

Quality 30

Delivery 20

Service 10

Evaluation should be 70 but from using weighting calculation the system caculate overall score = 20 instread.

So, please suggest me to correct this error.

I looking forward from hearing from all of gurus

Best regards,

Kayvalin T.

So, What should I do now. Please suggest. Because everytime that I enter a new score for each criteria the system also calculated by using weighting keys that I settle in configuration.

If I use user exit to deterimine calculation methods, Can user exit solve my problem.

Without weighting key the evaluation is not possible

Weighting Keys

A weighting key is an identifier under which the weighting factors for a number of main criteria can be grouped together and saved.

If you know that you will want to carry out an evaluation repeatedly with certain main criteria and certain weighting factors, you can save this combination under a weighting key.

When you carry out the next vendor evaluation, just enter the relevant weighting key instead of entering a weighting factor for each individual criterion. The system then automatically sets all the weighting factors.

There are two possible types of weighting key in the standard system:

Key 01

Key 02

Key 01 permits the equal weighting of all criteria.

Key 02 enables you to evaluate vendors supplying small parts, for example.

The weighting factors under this key are distributed as follows:

Price 5

Quality 3

Delivery 2

Gen. service/support 1

External service provision 2

Hope it explains you the importance ...
