Vendor Evaluation - GR Inspection Score

[former_member662213]

Dear All,

I am facing the following problem in vendor evaluation.

The vendor evaluation i m calculating on the basis of delivery and quality with equal weighing.

In quality score, I am only using GR Inspection score for getting the score and the user exit has been used to calculate the score as per customer's requirements.

When I run the T.Code Me61, the vendor evaluation is being performed both for quality score and delivery score without any problem. But when I run the Transaction Code ME64(Evaluation Comparison ) or ME6B( Ranking List of Vendor Evaluation based on Material/material group), the delivery score is being shown for material/material group but quality score is not being updated or saved for material/material group. Even in the LIS,ME6H, the delivery score is there for material, but the GR inspection score (quality score) is neither shown nor updated nor saved in any table.

I want the quality score (subcriterria:GR inspection) should also be updated on the material wise and should be saved.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sumit

If you have used user exit MM06L001 (Quality score related FMs in this), then I am afraid, you will get only score. I do not think, this exit is going to update material/group related evaluations.

Are you using QM module also ? If yes, then you should also check IMG settings for Quality score procedure in Inspection lot completion IMG. You have to define your own FMs to calculate quality scores and use the quality score procedure in material master QM view also.

Dear Ramki,

The user exit is used here to calculate the quality rating as per the client's requirement( and not as per standard, which is based on the average of quality score of the inspection lot). The quality score that is being assigned to the inspection lot at the time of usage decision is not used here for calculating quality rating.

The QM module is here.But, since as per client's requirment, i am not using quality score procedure for vendor evaluation.And the quality score for vendor evaluation is being captured on the basis of a complex formula which involves quantity, notification and usage decision code. The formula involes subtraction also for each notification generated. And the vendor rating can go in negative also but that is considered as zero only.

Any further suggestion is suggested.

And if i dont use this MM06L001 exit, then how can my quality score be updated or saved in the vendor evaluation for material/material group, since the same problem i m facing in the IDES system also.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sumit

You can define your own quality score procedures with a custom Function module assignment.

Try it.

Dear Ramki,

If I use the customised function modules to get the quality score for the inspection lots at the time of usage decision. Then how can I get vendor rating for each criteria (quality as well as delivery) at material/material group level.

Where this data will be stored.

What all configurations (if i need to do) are required.

My vendor evaluation is carrying out successfully. I had deactivated the user exit MM06L001, even now when i run the transaction ME64 and ME6B, i am not able to get the vendor rating for the material level.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sumit

When you do through quality score route, the data is updated for each insp lot. When you do it through exit in vendor evaluation, only the final score is updated.

Once you do the quality score procedure, maintain material master to update scores, that should be ebough. In vendor eval config, you need to keep Quality rating - standard settings for the sub-criteria you want to use (GR inspection). Do not enter any exit there.

Dear Ramki,

Thanks for your input; if I don't use the user exit, then the quality score is being shown there for the material level.

But still, there are a few problems:

1. Material wise Quality score, which is being displayed in ME64, is not getting updating in any of the table. Table ELBM is also blank. There is not even a single record.

2. The quality rating that is being calculated here is as per following:

The user gives disposition for the incoming material as

Qty accepted directly: A1

Qty accepted after segregation: A2

Qty accepted as major deviation: A3

Qty accepted as minor deviation: A4

Qty Rejected. : A5

The formula is

Q.R. = (A11 + A2(-0.5) + A30.5 + A4(0.8) +A5(-1) - Line Rej. qty(-1)) /

Total No. of Qty Received.

Final Q.R. = Q.R. - Mix up complaints*10 - Genuine complaints * 5

Since the formula have subtraction(negative quality score) also, I don't think that this subtraction or negative score would be able to capture in FM for Quality score procedure and the notification qty will not be able to be calculated.

So, to get the quality rating as per above and getting the same for the material wise also.

After that i need to get one report for vendor wise material wise report at month period.

How should I proceed?

Thanks once again for your valuable input.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sumit

This is complex.

1) Quality score updates lot level, notification level data.

2) MM Vendor eval updates final score for quality.

You want a calculation which is somewhere between the above two. You want summary of data by material/group.

The standard reports store the data for automatic criteria in info structures (S068 and S013).

Suggest the following considering the work you have done already:

1) Do not bother about quality score - custom FM.

2) You have already done the coding for calculating Quality rating in user exit for Vendor evaluation. Update the final score as you are doing currently. Also update material/plant level calculations in a Z-table. You can even maintain individual calculations also (A1, A2 etc) in the Z-table.

3) For report on quality score from this Z-table data, you develop another Txn for your users. This can be simple as you already have done the calculations.

Dear Ramki,

Thanks for the reply.

Do i need to customise FM for quality score procedure ?

I am already getting all the data calculated in the vendor evaluation user exit.

I have one more query regarding this issue.

You are saying that update the quality rating for material/material group in a z- table.

Can I update my quality rating in the standard table ELBM via my user exit. What all implications it can have if i update the table ELBM. Because, here, at the client site, I am using BIW to get the Vendr Evaluation reports,so i would be able to extract the data form the structure S013 and the table ELBM.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sumit

If you are using BW, this will be more easy.

Then I suggest you to update in z-table and extract Z-table data also to BW.

Alternative Solution:

ELBM is updated from Info records. If you want to update in ELBM, then you should define your SUb-criteria as 'Semi-Automatic'.

Then when you calculate scores through user exit, you also update Info records with scores.
