Key Steps:

• Configuration:

1. 1. • Define Weighting Keys: Assign weights to evaluation criteria (e.g., price, quality, delivery, service) to reflect their relative importance.
      • Define Criteria: Specify the precise sub-criteria within each main criterion (e.g., price level, goods receipt, quality audit).
      • Define Scope List: Determine the vendors to be evaluated and the materials/services to be included.
      • Maintain Purchasing Organization Data: Activate vendor evaluation for specific purchasing organizations and assign weighting keys.

• Evaluation:

1. 1. • Automatic Data Collection: The system automatically collects relevant data from purchase orders, goods receipts, quality results, and other sources.
      • Manual Input (Optional): Supplement with manual assessments for criteria not easily quantifiable (e.g., communication, flexibility).
      • Score Calculation: Scores are calculated for each criterion based on defined scales and weightings.
      • Overall Score: A weighted average is computed to produce a final vendor score.

• Analysis and Reporting:

1. 1. • Vendor Evaluation List (ME61): View detailed scores, rankings, and historical trends for vendors.
      • Vendor Evaluation Statistics (ME6E): Analyze overall performance and identify areas for improvement.
      • Custom Reports: Create tailored reports to meet specific analysis needs.

• Action:

1. • Identify Top-Performing Vendors: Recognize and reward high-performing suppliers.
   • Target Improvement Areas: Collaborate with underperforming vendors to address issues and enhance performance.
